It is understood the Belgium international would be “open to any kind of proposal” as he looks for regular playing time. Dendoncker made 21 appearances in Claret and Blue last season and four successive starts, including wins over Newcastle and Fulham, a draw at Brentford and a defeat at Manchester United.
He would have further competition for a Villa first-team place next season following the arrival of Youri Tielemans on a free transfer. He became Unai Emery’s first summer signing following the expiration of his contract at Leicester City.
