# Aston Villa: Club to listen to Wesley offers

**Aston Villa will reportedly listen to offers this summer for striker Wesley Moraes.**

That’s according to an exclusive report from [Football Insider](https://www.footballinsider247.com/aston-villa-wesley-this-summer/), who claim that a permanent Villa Park exit is possible, with manager Dean Smith not convinced by the Brazilian before his devastating ACL injury last year.

A potential loan deal is also a possibility, which would then [reportedly](https://www.footballinsider247.com/aston-villa-wesley-this-summer/) allow Villa to bolster their attack in the summer window.

### Wesley’s £1m-per game Villa record

Wesley, on [£35,000-a-week](https://www.spotrac.com/epl/aston-villa-fc/payroll/), has been out of action since [New Year’s Day 2020 following the serious injury he picked up at Burnley](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/50978289), although he has [returned to training](https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/aston-villa-training-confirms-player-20027999) in recent weeks.

He’s made [22](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/wesley/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/381362) appearances for the club since his [£22.5m move from Club Brugge back in 2019](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/wesley/profil/spieler/381362), costing the club just over £1m-per match so far.

### Transfer Tavern take

With Smith not convinced prior to his long-term absence, it seems as if a summer exit could be a smart decision for all involved.

Whether that’s on a temporary basis or a full-time deal remains to be seen, but Villa, in our view, would do well to recoup the £22.5m they paid for the Brazilian due to the time he’s been on the injury table.
