Manchester United are reportedly being encouraged to enter the race to sign Aston Villa defender Ezri Konsa this summer transfer window.
According to Fichajes, United are ready to battle it out with Arsenal over a swoop to bring the England international to Old Trafford.
Liverpool have also been credited with an interest in Konsa, with Andoni Iraola reportedly seeking solutions to an ongoing injury crisis at the club.
Arsenal have held further talks over a deal for the Villa defender but reportedly remain short of the club’s valuation for the centre-back.
Konsa has proven himself to be one of the most consistently available and durable defenders in the Premier League over recent seasons.
The 27-year-old has been absent for only 11 league matches across the past four campaigns, making him an exceptionally reliable presence at the back.
He made 48 appearances in all competitions during the 2025/26 campaign and played a key role as Villa ended their 30-year wait for a major trophy.
Konsa was instrumental in helping Aston Villa win the UEFA Europa League, one of the most significant achievements in the club’s recent history.
His performances for Villa earned him a place in Thomas Tuchel’s 26-man FIFA World Cup squad, representing a major personal milestone for the defender.
Konsa completed an outstanding 97.1% of his passes across his first six starts for England, underlining his composure and technical quality at international level.
With United, Arsenal, and Liverpool all circling, Villa will be determined to hold firm on their valuation and retain one of the Premier League’s standout defenders.
Any club that manages to secure his signature for around £60m would be landing a player with proven quality, consistency, and now genuine international pedigree.
