Aston Villa Seeks £5M-£60M Sales for Moreno, Digne, Watkins Amid Squad Restructuring

Aston Villa is actively managing its squad and finances this summer, with several key players potentially on the move amid Profit and Sustainability Regulations (PSR) concerns. Lucas Digne and Alex Moreno, both left-backs, are expected to leave Villa, with Digne attracting interest from AS Monaco and other clubs, and Moreno potentially returning to LaLiga with Leeds United monitoring his situation. Striker Ollie Watkins is also likely to be sold, with bids around £50-60 million anticipated due to Villa's financial needs and a reportedly strained relationship with manager Unai Emery. Villa aims to reinvest wisely, possibly pursuing significant forward signings, such as Sporting Lisbon’s Viktor Gyokeres, to replace outgoing players. Despite transfer speculation, Villa’s management insists that any sales will only proceed if the offers are substantial, reflecting the club's ambition to become a consistent top Premier League and European contender. The club is balancing financial obligations with maintaining squad chemistry and competitiveness under Emery and sporting director Monchi.
