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

[Dante Lavelli]

Longer contract with a pay cut.

so overall not a pay cut

I don’t understand how your brain works.

It doesn't.

[PaulWinch again]

I think you probably do.

[London Villan]

Hope he stays. Leader, experienced and good lad by all accounts. Same with Ming’s deal.

[Dante Lavelli]

Shifting Moreono before we commit Digne to three year deal would be wise.  The other way around, and we will have to give Moreno away. Alternatively, If we are really skint, I think Moreno and Maatsen duelling it out for the LB slot would be okay.

 So not too fussed how this pans out.

Or he goes on loan to somewhere where he plays every week and hope he impresses so he gets a meaningful fee.

🚨 NEW: Aston Villa will offer Lucas Digne a contract extension following positive discussions.
@TomCollomosse

We've already extended one Frenchman's contract, so let's extend 'Another One!'

[Tuscans]

Manchester United hold fresh talks over Ollie Watkins, as revealed with
@alex_crook ( fat twat ) earlier.

Watkins valued at £60m with Villa's preference to keep, or not sell without a replacement.

Villa retain an interest in Alejandro Garnacho. Separate deal, should they advance talks.⬇️

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Good man, he deserves it. Maatsen still looks 13, we need a man like Lucas.

Absolutely. Proper unsung hero.

After Kamara it’s hopefully “another one” signed

[Demitri_C]

Digne neess to take a pay cut though his wagss are very high. We cant give a 32 year old these type of high wages.  If he was in his late 20s then moght be worth doing

[Dante Lavelli]

My guess:  He has one year left on his contract @ £130k.  We’ll offer a three year deal on about £100k.

[AV84]

I wonder if sorting out these deals is necessary before we can make moves for new players? Another kind of financial jiggery pokery, if wages to turnover is the problem.

[Tuscans]

🚨🇧🇷 Douglas Luiz wants to go back to Premier League this summer as priority.

His relationship with Juventus is broken and he will surely leave. Agent now in Italy to assess all options.

[OCD]

Certainly helps with planning. Using Dante's figures, that's another £30k/week we can put towards a new signings wages. Just need to get rid of the likes of Bailey and Dendoncker. Question mark over Martinez too, if he's going we need to replace him with Chevalier or similar on half the wage.
