According to reports, Aston Villa is open to offers for Diego Carlos this summer, which would help pay for a deal for Conor Gallagher, the top player for Chelsea. But if they are unable to get rid of the defender, they may have to trade Jacob Ramsey, a highly sought-after young player who has the attention of some of the best teams in the Premier League. Villa’s spirits are still high despite their 5-0 loss against Crystal Palace on Sunday, as they are ready to play in the Champions League for the first time in more than 41 years next season. In the forthcoming transfer window, Unai Emery wants to deepen his team, and he may make an unexpected bid for Gallagher. The club is cautious about overspending, nevertheless, in order to avoid breaking the criteria of sustainability and profit.
In order to maintain balance in the books, it is anticipated that Aston Villa will make one significant sale. Diego Carlos, a center-back, is the guy who will give way, according to The Telegraph. In 2022, the 31-year-old transferred from Sevilla to Villa Park for an estimated £26 million. However, he suffered an Achilles tendon rupture that kept him out of practically his whole rookie season. He made 38 appearances this season in all competitions, switching between the starting lineup and Ezri Konsa and Pau Torres. With two years remaining on his deal, Carlos will reportedly make £100,000 per week.
Injury limited the 22-year-old to just 21 appearances this season, and he has been sidelined since March with a toe issue, but the energetic midfielder is still highly regarded. Villa values Jacob Ramsey very highly but may have to lower his price tag. However, Ramsey himself has no interest in leaving his boyhood club, which would complicate a potential sale.
Unai Emery hopes to sign a midfielder, forward, and versatile defender this summer, with Conor Gallagher on the shortlist as his Chelsea future remains uncertain. The England midfielder, who has also attracted interest from Spurs, has just a year left on his contract, and the Blues may need to sell him to comply with PSR (Profitability and Sustainability Rules).
