Watkins has reached double figures in goals during each of his seasons at Villa, bagging 16 in 37 during their 2025-26 campaign.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Saudi Pro League side Al Hilal have made £39 million offer for the striker, including add-ons.
It’s understood that Watkins is keen on the move, but the final decision is in Aston Villa’s hands, and they’ve already turned down two approaches for him.
