Aston Villa targets major signings as transfer budget swells

Aston Villa manager Unai Emery is preparing to spend heavily in the summer transfer window. After selling Morgan Rogers to Chelsea for $157 million, the club has a sizeable budget and is focusing on Argentine winger Alejandro Garnacho from Manchester United. The Villans view the 19‑year‑old’s speed and unpredictability as a key boost for a Premier League push.

In addition, Villa have been linked with Brazilian winger Leo Scienza of Southampton, who is valued at £35 million. Southampton, holding Scienza under contract until 2029, have set a firm price, while other clubs, including Leeds United, have shown interest. Villa also keep backup options such as Nicolas Jackson if primary targets stall.
