Aston Villa Nears Deadline Deals for Liverpool, Man Utd Stars

Aston Villa is actively pursuing several transfer moves as they seek to strengthen their squad amid a poor start to the season. They are close to securing a season-long loan deal for Liverpool's Harvey Elliott, which includes an obligation to make the transfer permanent next summer, contingent on Liverpool completing a major signing of Alexander Isak. Villa is also on the verge of signing Jadon Sancho on loan from Manchester United, with the club paying the bulk of his wages, and are reportedly interested in re-signing Chelsea defender Axel Disasi, who spent part of last season on loan at Villa. Meanwhile, Liverpool are planning for Elliott's potential departure and have identified Aston Villa's Morgan Rogers as a possible replacement, though Villa are reluctant to sell Rogers following the recent departure of Jacob Ramsey. Liverpool is also pushing to sign Crystal Palace's Marc Guehi and are finalizing the costly Isak transfer, which is central to facilitating the Elliott loan to Villa. These moves highlight a busy deadline day for both clubs as they navigate complex financial and squad-building considerations.
