Turkish newspaper Aksam claim Besiktas manager Abdullah Avci doesn’t want Domagoj Vida to join Aston Villa in this transfer window.
The Croatian defender has been linked with a move to Premier League side in recent weeks and Aksam claim Villa are ready to offer €6m to sign him before the deadline.
However, they say the Besiktas manager wants to keep the 30 year old as he believes Vida is a key player for his defence.
Along with Aston Villa, fellow Premier League side Sheffield United have also been linked with a move for the former Dynamo Kyiv player. Despite the interest from England it seems Besiktas will try to keep their player for the time-being, but their financial situation could decide the future of the Croatia international.
Vida’s contract with the Turkish club runs until June 2022.
