That comes amid an update that the 25-year-old is attracting interest from a number of top clubs in Europe who are eyeing a defensive midfielder, in the wake of his form for Unai Emery‘s side.
Aston Villa have faced issues with PSR recently, and it is also noted that Kamara is a player who would be a beneficial asset in that respect if his was to be sold.
Despite that it is suggested that Emery himself views a new contract as the preferred outcome when it comes to the situation around the future of Kamara.
Aston Villa must agree new midfielder deal
Football Insider Verdict
It feels imperative for those in charge at Villa Park that they do agree a new contract with Kamara beyond the end of his current deal.
For starters, the midfielder has been one of if not the best performers for Aston Villa this season when he is fit.
He will therefore be integral if the club are going to build on the progress they have made in the past couple of seasons, if they are to become regular features in the latter stages of major competitions.
In that respect, securing a new deal for the midfielder would be a welcome show of intent, that would give Emery the sense he is being backed by the club.
Given the excellent job he has done, it feels important that Aston Villa do ensure they are doing that to make sure the Spaniard is also inclined to remain at Villa Park.
All of that could then certainly help the club in terms of the rewards they can reap, both from a football and financial perspective, which may help when it comes to that PSR situation.
