Barcelona’s director of football Mateu Alemany has reportedly turned down an offer to join Aston Villa in favor of staying at the Camp Nou.
Diario Sport report that Alemany’s work at Barcelona has attracted interest from all over Europe and he does not lack for admirers.
Aston Villa who are “planning an ambitious project for the future” have even made an approach but have been rebuffed by Alemany.
The Barca chief is said to be “committed” to Joan Laporta’s project and is not thinking about leaving the Camp Nou at the moment.
Alemany has his work cut out this summer, with reports claiming Barcelona need to reduce the wage bill by around 200 million euros to keep Javier Tebas happy.
