Craig Butler has confirmed the same but revealed that the move will only be made “if everyone is satisfied”. Bailey’s step-father further added that it is very important that the Bailey takes the right step and thus they’re checking their options.

“There are different interested parties from the Premier League. We are checking the options. It is important that Leon takes the right step. Therefore it has not yet been decided whether he will change this transfer period or later. Leon feels at home in Leverkusen. There will only be a change if everyone is satisfied,” Butler said, reported Goal.

Reports have indicated that Aston Villa, who have already signed Emiliano Buendia and Ashley Young this summer, are Bailey’s top suitors with them in talks over a move. The Villa Park side are looking at a potential €30 million move and Butler, in a short statement, confirmed that the two clubs are in talks over transfer for the 23-year-old this summer.

"The clubs are holding talks,” he added.
