Ron Vlaar intends to quit Aston Villa at season's end.
The Holland defender comes off contract in June.
The Daily Mai says he will leave Aston Villa at the end of the season - regardless of Tim Sherwood's recent arrival.
Vlaar's contract is due to expire in just four-months' time, and any chance of him signing an extension look to have evaporated.
Manchester United, Arsenal and Southampton are monitoring the situation.
