Aleksandr Golovin attracted late interest from Premier League clubs Aston Villa and Leeds during the closing weeks of the summer transfer window, according to a report by Championat.
The Monaco attacking midfielder was of interest to both English clubs, although no further details about their approaches or the nature of the discussions have been disclosed.
Golovin remains under contract with Monaco until 2029. The 30-year-old Russia international has made three appearances in all competitions during the current campaign, registering two goal contributions, with one goal and one assist.
The reported interest from Aston Villa and Leeds did not result in a move before the transfer window closed. There is no information in the report indicating that either club submitted a formal offer or that negotiations reached an advanced stage.
Golovin has been part of Monaco’s squad while continuing his current contract in the French club’s colours. His long-term agreement means Monaco retain control over his future, with the midfielder tied to the club for several more seasons.
Transfermarkt values Golovin at €18m. That figure is an estimate of his current market value and does not confirm the amount Monaco would require to sanction a transfer.
The latest report follows earlier information about the fee for which Monaco would be prepared to release Golovin. However, the specific amount mentioned in that previous information is not provided here.
A move to England would have represented a significant change for Golovin, but the available details only establish that Aston Villa and Leeds showed interest late in the summer window. Neither club is reported to have completed a deal for the midfielder.
For now, Golovin remains a Monaco player, with his contract running through to 2029 and his early-season record standing at one goal and one assist in three matches across all competitions.
