The transfer market is heating up once again, and Aston Villa appears to be going all-in to secure the services of Danish striker Kasper Dolberg, with reports emerging that the Premier League side is preparing a massive improved offer nearing €65 million. The revelation comes from Besnik Hasi, whose inside knowledge of the negotiations has added credibility to the growing speculation.
Aston Villa’s ambition to strengthen their attacking line is no secret. Manager Unai Emery is reportedly determined to bring in a clinical, technically gifted forward to bolster Villa’s presence both in the Premier League and in Europe. Kasper Dolberg, currently plying his trade at RSC Anderlecht and enjoying a resurgence in form, has been identified as the ideal target.
Hasi, the former Anderlecht coach and respected figure in European football, confirmed whispers of Villa’s renewed intent:
“Aston Villa are not giving up. From what I know, they are preparing another offer — this one over €60 million, possibly approaching €65 million,” Hasi told Belgian media. “They really believe Dolberg fits the system and will take them to the next level.”
Dolberg, 27, has enjoyed a remarkable return to form over the past two seasons. Following a challenging spell in Ligue 1 and a brief loan stint in the Bundesliga, his move to Anderlecht revived his career. Last season, he registered 22 goals and 8 assists across all competitions, attracting interest from several top-tier clubs.
Anderlecht, however, are in no hurry to sell — especially not cheaply. The Belgian club has already rejected previous offers in the €50 million range, holding firm on their valuation of the Danish international.
Villa’s interest in Dolberg fits their recent pattern of aggressive recruitment, having already brought in several key players this window to support their European campaign. The Midlands club is showing clear intent to challenge the traditional “Big Six” and make a deep run in both domestic and continental competitions.
The potential €65 million deal would represent one of the most expensive transfers in Villa’s history, underlining the club’s growing ambition under ownership group V Sports.
For Dolberg, the Premier League remains an alluring prospect. The Danish striker has previously expressed admiration for English football, though he has yet to make an official statement regarding Villa’s approach. Sources close to the player suggest he is “open but cautious,” with European competition and playing time likely to influence his decision.
Negotiations are expected to accelerate in the coming days, with Villa reportedly eager to wrap up the deal before their preseason tour in Asia. Anderlecht will face mounting pressure, particularly if the offer climbs to the €65 million mark — a figure difficult to ignore for any Belgian club.
If Villa land Dolberg, it would not only be a marquee signing but also a powerful statement of intent.
Stay tuned — this transfer saga is far from over.
