Matey Alemany has been linked with a move to Aston Villa

Earlier this month it was reported that talks had taken place between Villa and Alemany - with Unai Emery hinting the club were closing in on the Barca man.

It was reported that he was set to take on an unspecified senior role at the club - however reports in the Spanish media suggest Alemany has held a meeting with Barcelona bosses to discuss remaining at the Nou Camp.

It comes a month on from the LaLiga champions confirming the 60-year-old was to step away from his role a year before the end of his contract, to pursue a new 'professional project', believed to be at Villa.
