The Scotland midfielder is only just returning from injury for Villa, but he started the season in brilliant fashion – confirming to many clubs his Premier League calibre.
Villa are battling to stay in the top flight, but, having spent a huge amount of money this summer they will not be able to reject big offers.
However, the size of the money will depend on whether they stay up or not.
And sources close to the player have indicated to TEAMtalk that McGinn, who signed a new long-term deal last summer, is attracting interest from Everton, as well as Midlands rivals Leicester and Wolves.
McGinn was originally linked with a move to Manchester United, but it seems their priorities are now elsewhere, most likely with his teammate Grealish.
European football expert Gabriele Marcotti has urged the Red Devils to swoop to sign Grealish this summer after he explained why the Aston Villa man can help Bruno Fernandes make further improvements.
“I think getting the [Grealish and Jadon Sancho] is probably going to cost you the best part of £200m,” Marcotti said on the Gab and Juls podcast.
“People seem to adore Grealish. I know he’s somebody who stands out more than he should because of the stuff he does with his shinpads, because of his hair.
“What I like about it though, in terms of attitude, we’ve all praised Bruno Fernandes for his personality and the fact that the guy’s got cojones – Grealish does too.
