UEFA state that clubs cannot spend more than they earn on transfers, meaning they could be forced to sell players this summer.
According to the Daily Mail, Turkish side Fenerbahce are interested in signing Watkins, and would be willing to give him a significant pay rise.
Fellow England international Morgan Rogers has also been linked with a move, but Villa won’t consider his sale for anything less than £130 million.
