Aston Villa Transfer Rumours

20 Jan 2026 17:44:25
Mateta the latest doing the rounds.
I'd take him over Abraham but be very surprised if this one happened.

20 Jan 2026 22:02:09
Id love to see him at villa but i'd imagine it would be very expensive and probably beyond our budget especially if we have to bring in a center midfielder. En Nesyri is another I’d like.

21 Jan 2026 09:12:59
Transfer fee would be a problem however his current contract is rumoured to be worth c£50k per week which I think would be well within our grasp +25% to make it worthwhile for him. Certainly a better use of money than some individuals we've got.

20 Jan 2026 12:20:23
Confirmed: Kamara out for the rest of the season.
The hits just keep on coming.
Feel absolutely gutted now.
A devastating blow and with McGinn's injury to be assessed this could now be turning into a crisis.

20 Jan 2026 13:57:04
This truly is bad news trinity, he is the one player in the team that we really struggle without when he don’t play, most other positions we can move guys around to accommodate. I wonder if Lindelof could do a job in the center?

20 Jan 2026 14:44:46
That's a good shout re: Lindelof and I actually said to my lad I wonder if he could slot into that role.

20 Jan 2026 18:25:30
When we played arsenal at VP didn’t Emery bring him on as a sub for the last 15-20 mins in the CDM role, I think he did. if you asked me 2 months ago I’d of said no chance he’s a donkey but he really proved himself when he got a run of games I have to say I have a new found respect for him but Kamara is a real hard act to follow.

that ref in the spurs game really buggered us, absolutely no protection from him for our players

17 Jan 2026 17:38:43
Not sure how true but rumours are we are interested in Schade from Brentford now he would be an upgrade on Malen from what I've seen of him but depends on price I imagine, Tammy would be the cheaper option

17 Jan 2026 19:17:48
Apparently Brentford don’t want to sell and if they did the price would be north of £50 million and we habitat that type of money at the moment. It’s just click bait I’m afraid.

Villa have sold Findlay Monrow to M Boro for a reported £300, 000 . Ian Hoollaway who was his manager at Swindon, says he's the best L/B prospect, he's ever worked with . He reckons Villa are making a mistake in letting him go UTV

15 Jan 2026 18:00:34
Dave it won't be the first mistake we have made recently

16 Jan 2026 00:03:44
It is a bit odd that Malen is in Rome and that there's no sign of a replacement. We're going to be short of players for Sunday. I know Guessand is back but doubt he'll put much fear into the Everton defenders! I don't think Ceballos is very good either so hope we don't overspend on him.

13 Jan 2026 23:08:32
Playing devil's advocate, we'll sell Malen, Ollie gets an injury that sidelines him for a prolonged period, where does our striking force come from, Buendia is doing well but isn't a main striker, Guessed is a total misfit and isn't the answer in any position.

Sancho hasn't really put in a decent performance. With the FA cup, premier league and Europa on the horizon it's a real worry if we have an issue with our attacking options.

14 Jan 2026 05:29:18
That says to me that getting Tammy in for £11M is a no brainer, there’s even talk that Spurs might try to hijack that too lol 😂

Really surprised we are prepared to let Malen go he is really unfortunate he has done nothing wrong and usually makes a difference whenever he comes on he is really unlucky in my view.
If he is going we must be confident that an established forward will be joining.

12 Jan 2026 16:03:35
I think your thoughts are echoed by many Villa fans.
It seems a strange decision to move a player on when he appears settled at the club and within the system and, as you say, does have a positive impact when he plays, particularly off the bench.
We'll see what the wise men at Villa have planned I guess.

12 Jan 2026 17:02:09
If true, I suspect this is at least partly motivated by the PSR and Uefa constraints following the ruling last year. I think most fans would agree that Malen has been a useful addition, but assessing him with finances in mind might mean we should be aiming for a greater return on such a significant earner. Building a squad is just as much an art as it is science, but in the current climate I don't think we can afford to have some of our top earners not genuinely competing for our first 11.

So I'd imagine players like Malen, Barkley, Elliott, Sancho and possibly even Buendia/Digne will all be the most likely to depart either in Jan or the summer, depending on who's available and how that salary allocation could be better used in the eyes of Emery.

12 Jan 2026 17:48:56
The issue for me is we’re selling a player who clearly has settled in. Fits the system and is useful either from the start or off the bench. Then realistically lacing him with an unknown quantity in terms of playing in this team.

A risk.
Not saying Gallagher isn’t a good player but will he fit in.
PSR is screwing is royally every transfer window from what I can see.

14 Jan 2026 12:41:50
Have you sat back and thought Malen wants to leave to gain minutes playing when there's a World Cup on the horizon?

11 Jan 2026 10:07:27
Now being reported that were after Tammy Abraham. Any substance or lazy journalism?
I think that ship has sailed tbh but if the numbers made sense then maybe there is something in it.

11 Jan 2026 10:25:53
We need another striker, no brainer for me 🤷🏼‍♂️

UTV

11 Jan 2026 11:52:26
If we got Tammy, and Gallagher, I wouldn’t bet against us? I wonder… Athletico wanted Martinez in the summer (rumoured) so I wonder if there’s some kind of swap/swap and cash thing going to happen 🤷🏼‍♂️

It looks increasingly likely that we will se another striker join but at the expense of Malen leaving. I'd be disappointed if this one is accurate. He fits into the system we play and has quick feet and seems to interact well with Rogers and Buendia. Think he's really settled into the team now and is an asset. Surely everyone could see that on Saturday?

12 Jan 2026 17:06:31
I agree trinity, maybe things will make more sense come the end of the month

13 Jan 2026 19:05:27
I've read a number of times now in different places that Malen is concerned about his playing time and that's why he's happy to speak to/join Roma. but I can't see how he's going to be guaranteed anymore playing time there? And has been picked ahead of Watkins due to form?
I'd half understand if there was a high transfer fee being offered, but even with that it's mindless to loan him out until the summer and then bring in a bang average fee for him.

£22m? he's got to be worth close to double that.

Villa took a loan out in October to purchase land at Westwood Industrial Park by VP rumours have it its to rehouse the people by Doug Ellis stand so that we can expand and also for the new train station the loan is on Company House.

09 Jan 2026 22:59:53
How much Daz?

10 Jan 2026 10:44:00
Been trying to find it Whack and I can't see it reading on the Companies house statement for Villa I don't know what they are planning.Its also nice to see we having training wear sponsorship now too keeping it in the family with Naseff.

09 Jan 2026 18:40:56
Looks like we looking at Conor Gallagher a solid signing if we get him.

09 Jan 2026 21:36:04
Quality player 👍🏻

09 Jan 2026 22:59:39
Always rated him 👍

08 Jan 2026 16:50:12
Ria. Madjo another signing, 16yr old built like a bull, plays for England U17s . From what Iv read, everybody was after him . Reported 12m Euros for a kid his age is a lot but, he's supposed to be well worth it UTV

09 Jan 2026 08:27:13
Could be a master stroke… if you’re good enough, you’re old enough. Get him in, have him on the bench, throw him on for 15-20 mins and rough the opposition up, he could be the new Lukaku, or he could be the new Kevin Francis 😂 if we’re spending that amount of money on a 16 y/o, I don’t think he should be playing for the under 21’s, throw him in, sink or swim 🤷🏼‍♂️
