How Villa can raise £100m in transfer sales
Villa need to continue to raise money from player sales to stay on the right side of the financial rules imposed by the Premier League and UEFA.

Last summer, Omari Kellyman, Douglas Luiz, and Tim Iroegbunam raised around £70m, before Moussa Diaby’s wages were taken off the books following his sale to Al Ittihad.

His £50m sale was then followed by the £65m departure of Jhon Duran in the January window, while Diego Carlos and Jaden Philogene were also moved on for roughly £30m combined.

Emi Martinez could leave Villa in the upcoming window, while Leon Bailey is also expected to depart.

RB Leipzig will likely take up their option to sign Kosta Nedeljkovic on a permanent basis for around £12m, while Emi Buendia and Alex Moreno are expected to find new clubs too after their spells at Bayer Leverkusen and Nottingham Forest ended respectively.

Lucas Digne, who has a year left on his contract, could also move on from Villa as he is a high earner.

Those five players could fetch combined transfer fees of around £100m for Villa this summer.

There is interest in other players in Emery’s squad too, but there’s no need to flog several key members unless huge offers land on the table.

Chelsea´s interest in Morgan Rogers
Following Villa’s failure to qualify for the Champions League, Chelsea — who finished fourth — could be emboldened to pursue a move for Morgan Rogers.

The England international is known to have admirers at Stamford Bridge, but Villa do not want to sell him.

The Telegraph reported last week that Villa would not accept any fee for Rogers, whose value will likely increase again next season if he continues to develop.
Rogers recorded 29 goal contributions in 54 appearances across all competitions this campaign.

He joined Villa in January 2024 from Middlesbrough in a deal worth £8m, rising to £15m with add-ons.

During negotiations over his transfer, Boro and Villa agreed to insert a 20 percent sell-on clause.

Haha. Der er ingen chance for, at Rogers bliver solgt til sommer. Det ville i hvert fald kræve et bud på minimum £90 mllioner - og så er jeg ikke engang sikker på, at Villa ville sige ´ja´.

Meget enig - men hvis det nu kunne løse alle de økonomiske problemer? Emi Martinez rygtes jo væk for sølle 25 mio. pund - det rykker jo ingen steder - hvorfor beholder vi så ikke bare ham medmindre han vil væk

Men fuck jeg er stadig bitter over den måde vi missede CL på - Martinez og Cash hjerneblødning og en dommer der fløjter 2-3 sekunder før bolden går i mål - tænk på alle de offsides der ikke fløjes selvom de er ret åbenlyse - hvad tænkte dommeren på ??

Fuck det er bittert - nu hedder det så FCM og Go Ahead Eagles i stedet for PSG og Barcelona

Nej. Han er så vital for Emery og hele måden holdet er sat op på. Jeg har meget svært ved at se, at Emery og NSWE overhovedet vil overveje bud på Rogers.

Selvfølgelig er det vanvittig ærgerligt at misse Champions League på målstregen, men Europa League er altså også en rigtig fin turnering. For tre sæsoner siden var Europa League i øvrigt kun en våd drøm for os. Den batter selvfølgelig ikke på samme niveau som Champions League, men hold som Betis, Roma og Porto danner stadig grundlag for nogle vildt fede kampe. Render vi ind i FCM, så er der trods alt ikke så langt til en away (hvis man da kan få fat i en billet) 😝

De sælger ikke Rogers men tænker alligevel at 80 mio. pund ville hjælpe en del på det hele

Jeg kunne godt være åben for at sælge Watkins - 29 år nu

Gad godt se meget mere til Malen

UEFA are set to hand fines to both Chelsea and Aston Villa

Two Premier League clubs face UEFA punishments for breaching financial rules
UEFA are set to hand fines to both Chelsea and Aston Villa after the two Premier League clubs breached the European football governing body´s stringent financial rules

Chelsea and Aston Villa are both set to receive penalties for breaching UEFA´s financial rules - but La Liga giants Barcelona are facing tougher sanctions. The pair of Premier League clubs are expected to be fined by European football´s governing body over first-time breaches.

Chelsea are said to have exceeded UEFA´s limits on financial losses for last season, as they wouldn´t allow the Blues to declare the income which came selling their women´s team. It was sold to sister company Blueco 22 Midco Limited for a world-record £200million in a move which raised eyebrows.

Unlike the Premier League, however, UEFA´s don´t let clubs to declare income from selling assets to sister companies. Chelsea said in April that they´d ´entered into discussions regarding mitigating factors affecting their regulatory submissions´.

Villa, too, are understood to have breached the limits, according to the Times. UEFA allows teams to lose a maximum of €200m (£170m) over a three-year period. Deductions can be made by the club for spending on youth and women´s teams as well as on their stadium and facilities.

Last year, Villa were fined £52,000 submitting their accounts late. It serves as another blow after Unai Emery´s side narrowly missed out on qualifying for the Champions League.

Barcelona appear to be in deeper trouble, though. Back in October, the newly-crowned champions of Spain lost an appeal in the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) over a €500,000 (£420,000) fine from UEFA which was due to wrongly reporting profits. The panel concluded that the sanction was ´actually relatively mild´.

The CAS ruling also revealed a warning that Barca are facing ´harsher´ sanctions for another breach. "The CFCB... highlights that a similar breach by the club in the 2023-24 monitoring process would constitute a case of recidivism and would be addressed by the imposition of a harsher disciplinary measure on FC Barcelona," the ruling stated.

Barcelona´s punishments could include a reduced limit on the number of players they can register for next season´s Champions League or even a points deduction. Their financial issues are well documented, although sporting director Deco insists that won´t have to sell any of their key players in the summer transfer window.

Fedt der er gang i denne tråd -:)

Det er ret stille omkring klubben lige nu, og der sker heller ikke en fløjtende fis ift. transfers. Der er ikke meget at skrive om 😅

Der er nu ellers mange rygter :

Martinez trækker lidt i land nu og begrunder hans tårer med at han er meget emotionel

Kamara vil åbenbart ikke forlænge lige nu

Syntes sommeren tegner meget spændende lige nu
