Aston Villa, Leeds closer to landing Werder Bremen striker Milot Rashica

Aston Villa and Leeds United remain in contact with Werder Bremen for Milot Rashica.

The striker has been expected to be sold by Werder this summer, though still remains with the Bundesliga giants.

DeichStube reports Werder wants €25m to sell Rashica, with RB Leipzig having offered €15m.

As such, selling to a foreign club is now more likely.

Villa are willing to meet Werder's valuation immediately, while Leeds are also keen.

Agent Altin Lala recently said: “He is a player who needs a new challenge. It's time to take the next step."
