Claudio Ranieri is believed to be willing to allow Inler to leave and Villa are reportedly ready to offer the 31-year-old Switzerland captain an escape route ahead of Euro 2016.
"I'm aware of his situation because I've looked at all the players who could be interested [in a move] because of the Euros," said Garde.
"I don't want to say to you where he is on my list, though.

"It doesn't mean they will come or that I have already called them. But I know him very well."
