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

I don't think Unai does anything by chance and will also want Rashford to stay if a deal can be done.  Unless Rashford doesn't fancy it, or has been a twat whilst here.  He is an exciting, bums off the seats talent and I'd love to see what he could do when really fit and enjoying his football.

Rashford at £40mil and a huge pay cut is fine by me. Asensio is a no-go - not now he's retired.

I would think Asensio is staying.

I think he’ll score tonight

From the bench I hope.

They'd probably disallow that, I reckon.

[PaulWinch again]

Retirement references a touch premature, he was excellent tonight.

From the Beeb Gossip section.

Aston Villa are hoping to turn Axel Disasi's loan move from Chelsea permanent in the summer, with the club already starting negotiations with the 27-year-old French defender. (Footmercato - in French, external)

Aston Villa could bring Barcelona's 25-year-old Spanish striker Ferran Torres back to the Premier League for a fee in the region of £42m during the summer transfer window. (Birmingham Mail, external)

I don’t see why we would buy a player that Emery does not seem to rate.

[OCD]

I'm assuming we've got the Espanyol keeper in the bag. The 23 year old who's expected to be Spain's number 1 in the near future.

🚨 Aston Villa are one of four clubs in talks to sign Lille’s Jonathan David on a free transfer.

If I recall correctly our a major part of our strategy was to develop and sell players to enable us to compete.
Now I love both Emi and Ollie but we can’t stand still so someone may need to be moved on to enable us to continue to improve.
We can only register 25 players so some churn out of the current 25 is inevitable.

Monchi seems to have the knack of pulling rabbits out of the hat so I am not going to get stressed about any player leaving - we are only going in one direction

And we need to be ruthless doing it.  If it means that we are losing Bailey, Watkins, Martinez, I'm sure we will have done our homework and will have good replacements.  It will be a tougher league next season with the likes of Wolves, West Ham, Tottenham, Man United surely better than this season, hopefully, we have good quality comeing in.

Wouldn't surprise me. From what I gather we've tracked him quite closely for a few years. The fact that he would be a Bosman and pure profit if we later sold him on only makes him a more attractive proposition.

arsenal and Madrid are very interested .

[OCD]

As back-up though. He would be guaranteed first choice as replacement to Martinez.
