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

So at least we don’t need to sell players for FFP reasons, but now we must reduce the wage bill by 10% or so, (whilst improving the squad). Over to you Monchi and co!

Martinez out, replaced by Chevalier on half wages would help.
Digne out, and someone coming in to back up Maatsen would help.
Finding clubs to take Coutinho and Dendoncker would help.

Would not be popular, but Watkins is on a big wedge and is about to hit 30. Last chance to make big money on him.

You can see from the rumours what the club are hoping to do.

Illing-Junior could be the back up to Maatsen.
Just coming off a successful U20’s Euros in which, by all accounts, he did very well

He didn’t when I watched him, he was awful. (3-4 times). But he must have something to be playing for England

I don’t think we need to reduce the wage bill - just its ratio to turnover.

Which will happen if you increase turnover by 25% approx.

Edit reread Percy’s post, although we will take a hit turnover will be significantly up on 23/24.

Both him and Maatsen could do with learning how to defend better. Right sort of profile though, we tend to go more attacking from left back.

Difficult ask when we have just had our biggest earner (Champs League) taken off the table for the season.

Is he a LB though?  Everytime i have seen him play he is more a left winger - and not a great one

Aston Villa would like to thank Robin Olsen and Kortney Hause following the expiration of their contracts, as well as our loan players as they return to their respective parent clubs.

[kippaxvilla2]

The fact that we have agreed to reduce costs this summer by 10 percent still means biggy or biggies going out the door?

Martinez and Digne would sort it.

Asensio, thanks, but no thanks then?

I don’t see that as a positive, that’s a lot of quality walking out the door.

I take it that's official bye bye for Rashford, Asensio and Disasi.

It is, but only because we had agreed to loan them until June 30th.

It doesn't mean that they can't come back again in a day, a week or a month.

Sure Buendia, Dendoncker, Moreno and maybe Bailey would more than sort it also…hopefully on the first three in particular

🚨🛑 Aston Villa confirm they’re not activating £40m buy option clause for Marcus Rashford.

Rashford returns to Manchester United… and £40m price remains available for any club interested in Marcus this summer.
