Unai Emery now urges Monchi to make Aston Villa bid for £8 million player
Aston Villa boss Unai Emery has urged the club’s director of football operations, Monchi, to make an offer for a 30-year-old player who he thinks would be a “key” summer signing.
Villa chasing Europe as Monchi begins summer transfer planning
Following Thursday night’s disappointing night in Greece, with Olympiacos cementing their place in the Conference League final at Villa’s expense, Emery has pleaded for his Villa side to get back on track as they soon host Liverpool on Monday.
Jurgen Klopp’s side travel to Villa Park knowing they’re out of the Premier League title race, and will be playing with zero pressure as they look to end their manager’s memorable era on a high.
The Reds will pose a dangerous test for Villa, as they look to seal fourth place and qualification for the Champions League after what has been a phenomenal first full campaign in the dugout for Emery.
Before Liverpool, Emery stated on team news that “each day is going to be very important because some players are with a small injury, having pain, and there’s not a date when they will come back.”
Similar to Zaniolo, he’s near, but he can’t play until he’s at ease with his discomfort. I hope he can get better. Tielemans is near; Alex Moreno needs a few days to heal from a minor injury, so perhaps he could be available.
As the club and transfer head Monchi begin work on new acquisitions for the upcoming season, Villa would have significant clout when the summer transfer market reopens if they were to secure a position in the most renowned championship in international football.
It appears that Villa had discussed signing Kelechi Iheanacho on
Reports from Spain have even indicated that Villa are favourites to sign Mario Hermoso from Atletico Madrid, who is also set to become a free agent when his contract expires in June.
The Midlands giants made a £120 million loss last season, as revealed by their latest financial accounts, a figure which UEFA claims is the highest loss in Europe over that period. PSR rules stipulate that Premier League clubs are allowed to lose £105 million over a rolling three-year period, so it would appear Villa have some work to do balance the books.
Emery tells Monchi to table Aston Villa bid for Reinildo Mandava
Now, other reports in Spain have claimed that they’re eyeing another bargain option for their backline. Indeed, it is believed Emery has personally told Monchi to lodge an Aston Villa bid for Reinildo Mandava, who would be the first player from Mozambique to play in the Premier League if they do push ahead with a move.
