apparently a few #avfc staff have travelled to the wc in america to track performance and fitness of the players, but more importantly some of the senior scouts have also travelled (presuming mbaye is a main target but could also be looking at others)
i dont think #avfc are prepared to spend £50m of a tight budget on 29yo (turning 30) jarrod bowen
that type of money is wanted to be spent on a young player who’s potential can be exploited by emery
deal itself is quite complicated as well
Exclusive 💣
Aston Villa are in talks with Liverpool regarding a summer transfer for Curtis Jones.
Liverpool have highlighted to potential suitors the current market value for midfielders in the Premier League.
Curtis Jones would be great value at around the £35m-£40m mark.
boubacar kamara is reportedly ‘ahead of schedule’ in his rehabilitation, but despite rumours, won’t be returning at any point this season
villa staff are optimistic he’ll be ready for pre-season, specifically the showpiece friendly against bayern munich #avfc
rogers has expressed that he thinks it’s the ‘right time’ to leave after winning a trophy, and that his transfer fee will massively help the club financially for the future.
for clarity, he is not ‘pushing’ for a move. it is completely respectful between club and player #avfc
apparently #arsenal have been in contact with #avfc this week and a bid for morgan rogers is ‘imminent’
villa stand firm that they will not even consider offers less than £100m, using the values of elliot anderson and declan rice as benchmarks
🚨 Excl. - An #AstonVilla’s scout was in Dallas to watch the World Cup’s game between Holland and Japan to monitore #Parma’s goalkeeper Zion #Suzuki, who is a candidate to replace Emiliano #Martinez. El Dibu is ready to leave this summer and agreed personal term with #Juventus
🚨🟣🔵 Excl: Zion Suzuki among 3 GKs in list at Aston Villa for summer window if Emiliano Martínez ends up leaving.
Aston Villa aware of Juve being in talks with the Argentine GK but nothing agreed club to club yet.
Suzuki been scouted for months at Parma.
@markh2181 i suppose it will be to see whether his valuation will increase based on his performances, but you’re right. there’s defo gonna be other ppl they’re looking at

@AVFC_JAMES21 idk if im being honest. villa have built a list for the past year since his departure is more of a matter of when not if. trafford, costa, restes, chevalier, risser, penders, svilar are all appreciated names. but im not an ‘itk’ with transfer knowledge, tanswell is for that 👍
