Jordan Veretout has confirmed his intention to leave Aston Villa this summer.

The midfielder spent last term on loan with Saint-Etienne and look set to exit Villa Park on a permanent deal.

Saint-Etienne remain hopeful that they can match Villa's financial demands for the 24-year-old, while fellow Ligue 1 outfit Nantes are also interested in his services.

Veretout is due to return to Villa for pre-season training but hopes to move on ahead of next season.

"I belong to Aston Villa. I have a contract with them, " Veretout told French publication 20 Minutes.

"I can not do anything. I am obliged to go back there for the preparation.

"My wish is not to stay there, everybody knows.”

Veretout joined Villa for £7m from Nantes in 2015, and is one of a number of fringe players the club plan to sell this summer to raise transfer funds.
