Aston Villa are once again at the centre of transfer speculation, with the latest reports linking the club to Canadian international striker Jonathan David. Our analysis of the past seven days shows the club has been tied to 14 possible arrivals and 3 potential exits, with the hottest storyline currently revolving around Fulham's Harry Wilson. Here is the latest news on the most important transfer rumours surrounding the club.
Jonathan David
On Wednesday, TEAMtalk reported that Juventus will allow Jonathan David to depart this summer if they can secure a new contract for another top international striker. Intermediaries knowledgeable about David's situation have communicated with multiple Premier League clubs, including Aston Villa, regarding a possible transfer. Although David's representatives publicly maintain that he is settled in Turin, they are also aware that an opportunity for him to leave could arise. The report claims the probability of a transfer will increase substantially if Juventus can persuade Dusan Vlahovic to sign a new agreement, with talks said to have resumed.
Chemsdine Talbi
Aston Villa and Brighton and Hove Albion are both interested in signing Sunderland winger Chemsdine Talbi. An update on Wednesday stated that Sunderland would be prepared to sell the 20-year-old Morocco international for a fee of at least €45m–€55m, which is up to £48m. Talbi is under contract with the club until 2030.
Barış Alper Yılmaz
According to Fanatik on Tuesday, Barış Alper Yılmaz has attracted great attention from major Premier League clubs. The report adds that Aston Villa is the club most seriously mentioned in England, and a bid of around 50 million Euro is reportedly possible for the player.
Harry Wilson
Aston Villa are keen to sign Fulham's Harry Wilson. According to Fabrizio Romano on Tuesday, Unai Emery and Roberto Olabe are trying to bring Wilson to Villa Park, and initial discussions have already taken place. Romano asserts that Villa cannot formally agree a pre-contract with him until the final month of his deal. On Monday, Fulham's manager, Marco Silva, confirmed that it will be hard for the club to keep Wilson due to his brilliant form.
Óscar Mingueza
On Tuesday, TEAMtalk reported that Aston Villa had representatives present in Girona to observe Celta Vigo defender Óscar Mingueza. Sources close to the situation confirm that Villa is tracking Mingueza, who is out of contract this summer. There is also widespread interest from across Europe, with clubs from Italy and Germany also monitoring his situation.
Fisnik Asllani
According to a Wednesday report from Fussball Daten, Aston Villa is interested in Fisnik Asllani. The club's manager Unai Emery is also said to be interested in a deal for the Hoffenheim player, as the Villans are searching for another striker this summer.
Mason Mount
Manchester United have decided not to sell Mason Mount in the summer transfer window, despite interest from Aston Villa, according to a Wednesday report from Football Insider. It is said that INEOS has no intention of selling Mount this summer, with the club reportedly happy with him and focusing on trying to get him back to full fitness.
