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

I'd have Madueke.

Me too.

[pauliewalnuts]

Maignan, on a free would want huge wages, I cant see us wanting to pay those, as well as Emi, unless he's off.

Talk to any Milan fans and they'll tell you Maignan is shit, too, which could be a problem.

I'd have Madueke.

Me too.

Yep, if we decide not to keep Rashford Madueke would be a very good alternative, I reckon that would be England cap number 80 for us.

Maignan still has another season on his contract so the fee would be huge for a team with EmiM in the squad already.

And if we signed Madueke, it would stop him destroying us for Chelsea too.

I like the links to Arda Güler. He’s turkish. A generational talent who would thrive and develop so well under Emery.

Monchi words were encouraging:


“I know him well because he is a player that every sporting director has followed during his time in Turkey.
“He is a player who fulfilled a series of requirements and who could be attractive for Aston Villa because we were looking for that position. It’s not the same position as Marcos Asensio, but more or less we are looking for that profile between the lines that can play as a 10 and that can even play on the outside coming inside.

“To me he seems to be a player with very good technical conditions, and I also think he has personality, he shows it when he plays for the national team. There he takes on roles that are not associated with his age.
“Unai is a coach who has historically helped players grow. There are players like Marcus Rashford and Marco Asensio who have grown since Unai arrived,” Monchi explained.

“Coming here improves the player, and that’s our main selling point, beyond offering a project that’s fighting for the top eight in the Champions League, that wants to continue growing, and that wants to continue playing in Europe.”

Premier League clubs have today agreed the dates for the Summer 2025 Transfer Window.

The window will open early, between Sunday 1 June and Tuesday 10 June, due to an exceptional registration period relating to the FIFA Club World Cup.

It will then reopen on Monday 16 June and close on Monday 1 September.

Seems the most sensible of the available options.

The main discussion was whether to end the transfer window before the season started. Obviously they decided to keep it in line with other markets.

From the Beeb's gossip.

"Aston Villa are favourites to secure the signing of Chelsea and England winger Noni Madueke, 23." (Givemesport)

[DrGonzo]

From GiveMeSport gossip, then.  The BBC gossip page is just a media conglomeration site.

[OCD]

Move Bailey on, replace him with Madueke. Wouldn't be a bad move.

[steamer]

Almost every item on BBC gossip involves Newton Heath

O so hope this is true, living in the TRNC and all that

Guler 'attractive' to Aston Villa, says Monchi
Aston Villa chief Monchi has confirmed his side's interest in Real Madrid star Arda Guler,  says a report in the Daily Mirror.
Guler, 20, has made just six LaLiga starts this term.
“I know him well because he’s a player that every sporting director has followed in his career since Turkey," he told Radio Marca.
“He’s a player who met a number of requirements and could be attractive to Aston Villa because we were looking for that position.
"It’s not the same position as Marcos Asensio but we’re more or less looking for that profile between the lines who can play as a No 10 and who can even play on the outside while coming in.
“Personally, I think he’s a player with very good technical skills, and I also think he has personality – he shows it when he plays for the national team. There, he takes on roles that aren’t associated with his age.”

Have I missed something, why would Chelsea sell Madueke
