According to Mirror, the Frenchman is open to a Premier League return and it will be interesting to see if Villa can agree on a deal for the 31-year-old.
Nzonzi is on loan at Galatasaray but the Turkish side have suspended him following a training ground bust-up.
This would be a good opportunity for the Turkish outfit to get rid of him and he will be able to make a fresh start at Aston Villa as well.
He is clearly not a key player for Roma and therefore the Italians might consider a sale for a reasonable fee.
