Aston Villa is preparing a £30 million bid for Barcelona midfielder Bernal, according to The Sun.
The 19-year-old enjoyed an impressive breakthrough season in 2025-26 and has become one of the most outstanding young talents at the La Liga club.
Bernal made 33 appearances across all competitions and scored 5 goals as Flick's team won the title. Flick considers Bernal an important player for the team's future, and Barcelona has also listed him as "not for sale."
However, Villa is still hoping to sound out Barcelona after Unai Emery listed him at the top of his transfer wish list. Emery greatly admires Bernal and has asked Villa to approach the player.
The Sun Sport understands that Villa is preparing to submit a £30 million offer for Bernal. With Emery pushing for the deal, last season's Europa League winners are currently in pole position to sign Bernal.
However, Barcelona is reluctant to sell him, as they believe there is no player in the transfer market who can replace his talent. Barcelona has previously rejected offers of around £25 million from several clubs. Manchester City also inquired about Bernal's situation, but their interest was quickly rebuffed.
Bernal joined Barcelona's renowned La Masia academy at the age of 6. He rose through the ranks alongside Lamine Yamal and Pau Cubarsí as part of this talented generation of Barcelona players.

Aston villa isn't serious how many of the big money transfers in the EPL are better than Bernal? If Bernal was an English player or playing in England do you think 50 million euros will get him

Bernal has an enormous talent but that is not true to say there’s no young player in the market available to replace him cuz kees smit is more than 💯 far better than bernal, i will not like barca to free their talented academy player but when a player like kees smit merge with pedri it is gonna be something special cuz with no doubt expect another new xavi-iniesta in barca midfield

Last year Chelsea bid 40m for fermin now 30m for Bernal in this inflated market . is this a joke. 90m is the least tey should offer.

They should Rather bring £100m for De Jong instead Because Benal Marc is our future and we can't let him go like that ....... after all he worth more than just 30m...... they should make it 70m for Marc but Casado
