The transfer window is buzzing with excitement for Aston Villa as they gear up to make significant moves, including a deal to secure Manchester United winger Jadon Sancho and setting their sights on Liverpool sensation Harvey Elliott.
Sancho, currently part of United’s so-called 'bomb squad', is not in coach Ruben Amorim's future plans. After spending last season on loan at Chelsea, where his contributions helped the team clinch the Europa Conference League, he failed to earn a permanent spot in the squad.
Chelsea bypassed a hefty £20-25 million buy option by paying a £5 million penalty, leaving Sancho in limbo. United is now on a mission to offload the talented forward to ease their wage bill while recovering some funds.
However, the 25-year-old hasn't made it easy for them, turning down offers from clubs like Roma and Besiktas while holding out for a staggering £250,000 weekly salary.
Fortunately for United, Aston Villa appears ready to swoop in. According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, a deal is reportedly in place for Sancho to join Villa on a season-long loan, and he’s received the coveted 'here we go' confirmation.
Sancho's move to Villa has been green-lighted by United, and it’s been suggested that this initial loan could lead to a permanent transfer down the line. Journalists report that Villa will cover most of Sancho’s wages, providing much-needed relief for United.
This is not Villa’s first time assisting United; last season, they loaned in Marcus Rashford, who impressed but ultimately decided on a permanent transfer to Barcelona instead.
But Aston Villa isn't stopping there—they're reportedly in talks with Liverpool about acquiring Harvey Elliott. As the clock ticks down toward the transfer deadline, Villa aims to negotiate a deal that aligns with UEFA regulations.
Earlier in the month, Elliott was a target for RB Leipzig to replace new Tottenham star Xavi Simons. Liverpool is firm on their asking price, which is a minimum of £40 million plus a buy-back option, or over £50 million without one.
Villa is keen on boosting their midfield options before the 7pm deadline after missing out on other key targets like Lucas Paqueta and Marco Asensio.
Liverpool, meanwhile, is busy finalizing a jaw-dropping £130 million deal for Newcastle's Alexander Isak, which could also create room for Elliott's departure.
In more updates, Aston Villa is reportedly confident about retaining their £80 million star amidst strong interest from Tottenham, Chelsea, and Arsenal. However, there could be a shake-up, as goalkeeper Emi Martinez is reportedly in talks with Manchester United.
With the transfer window closing soon, fans can expect a thrilling finish to the summer's most talked-about signings!
