In this article, we will bring you all of the Aston Villa transfer news from today. Make sure to check back to the site for more daily transfer updates throughout the summer.
Grealish on the way out?
Obviously, the biggest cloud hanging over the heads of Dean Smith and his Villa side is the future of Jack Grealish. The Englishman is subject of significant interest from Manchester City, and has been all summer.
Now, according to multiple sources, Aston Villa are expected to accept the Manchester side’s 100 million pound bid, leaving Grealish with a huge decision to make. Alternatively, Villa are offering a new contract to their talisman, which would make him the highest-paid player in their history.
Will he join the champions?
Leon Bailey incoming
Perhaps a small relief to Villa is the imminent arrival of Leon Bailey, the Jamaican winger from Bayer Leverkusen. Added to Emi Buendia, it represents a huge statement for the midlands club.
According to Fabrizio Romano, the deal will set Villa back 30 million pounds, and will add another dimension to Villa’s attack with his pace and trickery.
Tuanzebe loan on the ropes?
However, Villa have seemingly been dealt a blow in their chase for Axel Tuanzebe. The Manchester United defender is free to leave on loan, with Villa thought to be interested in bringing him back to Villa park, where he had an impressive spell between January 2018 and May 2019.
As per the Manchester evening news, however, Newcastle United have “leapfrogged” Villa in the chase for the English defender, with Steve Bruce seeing the centre-back as a potentially key part of his defence for the upcoming season.
