Aston Villa have made a huge offer to sign Como star Martin Baturina as part of their summer transfer plans. The Villans are looking to build on their successful season with three new signings. Italian newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport claims that Aston Villa 'have made a formal offer' for Baturina with the bid thought to be between €50m and €55m. Another unnamed English club have also made an offer for Baturina and the Serie A club now 'value the winger at €80m'. Leeds United are known admirers of the Croatia international after reports in January claimed they made a €30m plus bonuses offer in the winter window. German publication Bild insists that Aston Villa and Turkish side Fenerbahce are 'seriously considering' a move for Borussia Dortmund striker Serhou Guirassy this summer. Despite rumours that he could end up in Saudi Arabia, Guirassy is 'currently keen to remain in top-level European football' with the Guinea international keen to 'gain clarity' about his future early in the window. Sporting director Lars Ricken recently revealed that Dortmund are planning for Guirassy being around next season, he said: 'We have no intention of letting him leave. He has impressively demonstrated his value to Borussia Dortmund over the last two seasons.' Aston Villa are also 'very close' to sealing a deal to sign Ibrahim Mbaye in the summer transfer window, according to French journalist Romaine CG. The journalist wrote on X: 'Aston Villa eyeing 2 PSG players for this summer transfer window! – Ibrahim Mbaye is very close to joining the English club. – Lucas Chevalier is on the shortlist of the recent Europa League winners. #AVFC #TeamPSG.' Former Manchester United chief scout Mick Brown – who remains well-connected in the Premier League – insists Emery is keen to keep Lamare Bogarde this summer despite interest from a number of clubs. Brown told Football Insider: 'I've heard good things about Lamare Bogarde. They rate him very highly at Aston Villa, the manager is a big fan of his, and that's why he's been involved more in the squad this season. He hasn't been starting every week, but he's been a big part of the side and the success they've had in Europe especially. That's why there is interest in him as well, because Premier League clubs are always looking to see if there's a deal to be done for a player on the fringes like that. But Villa don't want to see him go, they're speaking to him about a new contract and they hope they're going to be able to reach an agreement. Keeping the best academy graduates at the club is always a priority.
