MacArthur plans talks with Jedinak after Villa exit, here’s why deal may collapse
Aston Villa confirmed on Saturday that Mile Jedinak had been released, and reports throughout the season suggested that the central midfielder could return to Australia after he was finished in England. Macarthur wanted the 34-year-old to be their one of their marquee signings.
Jedinak joined Villa from Crystal Palace in 2016 and went on to make 80 appearances in all competitions, scoring and creating four goals. The Australian international fell out of favour under Dean Smith in 2018/19, featuring in just eight Championship games since September, so his exit wasn’t a surprise.
