Aston Villa fullback Kosta Nedeljkovic is expected to stay with RB Leipzig beyond this season.

Sky Deutschland reports the Bundesliga club is expected to activate the purchase option in the 19-year-old's loan contract and sign the Aston Villa right-back permanently.

However, a final decision is still pending.

The Saxons view Nedeljkovic as an investment in the future, available for a relatively reasonable price. The transfer fee is reportedly €10.5m plus up to €4.5m in potential bonuses.

The six-time Serbia international joined Leipzig on a six-month loan at the beginning of February and has since made three brief appearances for the club.
