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

Talk of Yasin Özcan heading to Anderlecht on loan for the season.

[Holte L2]

I still have this feeling that Grealish will be a Villa player again by the end of August.

[Tuscans]

I still have this feeling that Grealish will be a Villa player again by the end of August.

That's something I've been thinking too. I don't see him and Everton as a fit and if the Napoli speculation doesn't result in anything then I think that could be a possibility...especially if JJ is moved on.

I think we will sell at least one player that we'll be gutted to lose, and maybe loan one big name in. Wouldn't be amazed if Grealish is back, I'm about 50/50 on the prospect, in terms of whether I'd be in favour or not.

[AV82EC]

My nonsense speculation for this week is that if Isak does bugger off to Liverpool, then maybe Newcastle might be in for Watkins. And I'd rinse them for every penny we could get.

As for Grealish, no thanks, the only reason he gets linked is he used to play for us.

Napoli have bough Noa Lang from PSV for £25m, who plays where Grealish would be. So it's unlikely he'd be going there now.

Shame, him there would've proabably been quite entertaining.

Really? Would be a very, very similar signing to Rashford or Asensio.

[Sexual Ealing]

It does feel somewhat inevitable. Nobody wants to buy him, they won't let us buy anyone. There's something of the late-night call to an ex about it. Ah well, at least both parties know what gets the other going.

[VillaTim]

Whilst this has been a very underwhelming window thus far i'm still not i'd want him back

[N'ZMAV]

Jadon Sancho is ready to take a pay cut in order to leave Manchester United. (BBC)

not sure where Sancho fits in - I'd rather we played Ramsey left side and Malen right side.

his best position, left side or through the centre? Ramsey leaving could give us an opening on the left but I don't want us bringing anyone in that moves Rogers from 10

[Matt C]

I’d love the Grealish of 2019-21 back, I’m just not sure he exists anymore.

"I still have this feeling that Grealish will be a Villa player again by the end of August."

have to say, as things stand, this is the only thing that would give me any real enthusiasm for the season ahead (noting it would most likely end in tears...)

[Clampy]

Talk of Yasin Özcan heading to Anderlecht on loan for the season.

If that did happen, what would people think about Disasi coming back, that's if he hasn't moved yet?

[AV82EC]

It really wouldn't.
