After weeks of interest, multiple sources have confirmed that Al Hilal have tabled a formal bid for Ollie Watkins. The Aston Villa forward has been attracting interest from across the league in recent weeks, with an opening offer marking a clear intent to get the deal done before the market intensifies. But it remains to be seen whether this opening bid will be enough to tempt a move away. Fenerbahce, Everton and Newcastle are reportedly waiting in the wings. Finalising a fee and payment terms remains central to closing the transfer. Alongside this, Aston Villa are said to be exploring Tosin Adarabioyo, Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Matteo Ruggeri with Al Hilal likewise connected to Gabriel Martinelli, Marc Casado Torras and Pedro Neto.
