Winter 2025 Transfer Window - hopes, speculation, rumours etc.

Fabrizio just retweeted his older tweet...could be on soon.

🚨🟣🔵 Aston Villa have opened talks with Sevilla for Loïc Badé as concrete option and target.

Discussions started to explore January move, as L’Équipé reported. He’s high on Villa list for both Monchi and Unai Emery.

I hope Fab’s right on this one.

Negotiations for Oscar Mingueza have broken down.

Probably wanted the release clause at £20M Euros and we're putting our eggs into Maalen, Garcia and Bade...plus the turk and french winger.

We need the French H&Vers here for pronunciation guidance. Is it Loy-ick, Loyke or something else?

Switch on the right back target leaves the financial wriggle room to get Badé I guess. Plenty to be finalized but seems we’re playing this window pretty well.

[edgysatsuma89]

My head certainly doesn't go to a 'y' for the 'ick' option, but 'low-ick'.

As long as we can move out Diego Carlos and get in a competent CB, I’ll be happy.

Sounds like a yam-yam whichever way.  😉

It still sounds positive about the Badé deal this morning. https://x.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1880545163380138236

Let's hope we let out too many of them if and when he's playing for us!  That would be really Bade.

Low Eek Bar Day....sounds like a quiet saturday afternoon in the pub to me.

Given the young french lad and the turkish lad are clearly signings for the future I reckon Garcia and Bade will be business done for the window. How good that will turn out is obviously open for debate but Malen fills a a big gap in the squad with his pace, Bade looks like a superb replacement for Carlos (and significantly younger) and Garcia looks raw but like the sort of player that could be worth 10x what we've paid in a couple of years.

So, here are deals agreed and pending as reported (I've used Euros because thats how most of the deals have been priced).

Total €66m

Out
Philogene €24m                         Carlos €13m

We've upgraded at right back, centre half and inside forward as well as signing some future potential

Another Monchi masterclass.
