ASTON VILLA have launched an ambitious move for Bayer Leverkusen star Moussa Diaby, according to reports.
The Bundesliga side have informed the winger that he would be allowed to leave if a huge offer comes in.
Aston Villa are interested and submitted an opening bid earlier this week.
L’Equipe claim that Leverkusen have not accepted the offer but deem it a good starting point to open negotiations.
However, Villa could be turned down by Diaby as he wants to play in the Champions League.
