Aston Villa outcast Lovre Kalinic could be set to leave the club before the end of the summer window in Europe, with several clubs chasing his signature.
The Croatian, who joined Villa only last January for a substantial fee of £7 million, could be set to join a team in France or Germany on loan, according to Sky Sports.
Three teams are reportedly ready to bid for the former Gent goalkeeper, who has failed to make an impact at Villa.
Kalinic’s Villa career started badly, and continued to get worse, leading to Jed Steer becoming the number one goalkeeper after the Croatian picked up an injury.
The signing of Tom Heaton has practically ended Kalinic’s career at Villa Park, meaning he is likely to move on.

It seems like the best deal for both parties if Kalinic leaves on loan for the season.
After a horrible debut, things never really picked up for the Croatian, and he now looks like he has no future at Villa.
Tom Heaton looks to be a solid number one goalkeeper for Villa now, which is a huge relief after the horror show in goal last season.
Villa will be hoping to get Kalinic off their books as fast as possible. Therefore, sending him on loan seems the best step to take for now.
Unfortunately, Kalinic has to go down as one of Villa’s biggest flops of the modern era, especially with the price tag.
He simply never produced, and was a waste at a time that was so crucial to Villa.
