🚨 EXCLUSIVE: Aston Villa reach agreement in principle to sign Ibrahim Mbaye from Paris Saint-Germain. #AVFC move for 18yo #PSG winger in process of being finalised: €55m. Nasser Al-Khelaifi & Nassef Sawiris relationship key to closing deal @TheAthleticFC https://t.co/0z6xxuHoko
Over the last 5 seasons, Aston Villa ranks:
3rd highest in player sales
Dead last in net spend
and 7th in wages
despite that - the club has earned the 4th most points in the league since Unai Emery's first match with four straight European qualifications (including two CL)
PL PSR and UEFA SCR doing its job to make sure it will be difficult to sustain and build on that success
AdamtheCCO on TikTok has given a good update re #AVFC finances.
Using Valuball, we’ve made a profit on player sales of £209m after you factor book values, fees paid etc etc. (includes sale of Konsa).
Wages: £71m freed up, £40m in.
It has us estimated at 53% for SCR regs.
We marvel at how impressive Emery is for getting the maximum out of a set of players that were bang average before his arrival…
And how he’s impressively maintained these levels with a squad that he inherited, rather than players he chose...
We desperately want Aston Villa to progress but we’ve already seen and achieved what the maximum level of these players gets us…
We finally begin to see those players move on for impressive fees and allow Emery to bring in players with attributes that suit his style…
So why is it such a terrible thing?
Konsa and Watkins to follow the exodus, strap up this is gunna be a mad season for us, who knows what’s gunna happen. Never quiet being a Villa fan 🤣💜💙 UTV
This confirms Emery is the best manager in the prem without a doubt. What he’s doing is miraculous and gets nowhere near enough praise.
This is literally nuts.
£26m for Zion Suzuki could prove to be one of the best value for money goalkeeping transfers of the Premier League era by Aston Villa (#avfc) if it gets completed...
Fantastic skillset ✅
Very High Ceiling✅
Massive Marketability✅
Experienced International✅
If Emi is going or out for the next 3 months due to suspected surgery? It matters not. There's zero downside to this signing.
New: Joao Gomes and Brian Madjo expected to miss the start of the season through injury. Further scans will determine specific timeframe, but Gomes suffered a calf strain & initially anticipated to miss two-four weeks, while first indications suggest Madjo could be out until at least September.

Journalists close to Manchester United are suggesting they’re financially restricted in the market…
That Youri Tielemans deal at £35m looks great… until you realise it’s £35m upfront.
Villa (#avfc) by far had the weaker lineup and they ran this PSG team ragged.
Say what you want about the Super Cup and Villa etc but Madjo, Gomes & Hemmings announced themselves for the coming season and Kamara reintroduced himself.
Villa are gonna be very difficult to beat this season.
UEFA don't want clubs like Aston Villa to win. They've forced them to sell their best players, as 'bigger' clubs lose hundreds of millions with impunity. But thanks to Unai Emery, Villa are beating the system, writes TOM COLLOMOSSE https://t.co/aGfHZaOygs
