Aston Villa manager Unai Emery faces a busy summer as the transfer window opens. Here are the latest headlines from BirminghamLive.
Contract Decisions Looming
Several of Villa's top players are entering the final two years of their contracts this summer. The club must decide whether to offer extensions or consider sales to avoid losing them for free later. Key names include star performers who have been integral to Emery's plans.
Marcus Rashford Transfer Stance
Marcus Rashford is reportedly prioritising a move abroad this summer rather than joining another Premier League club if he leaves Manchester United. According to The Athletic, a return to Villa appears unlikely. If Rashford stays at Old Trafford, he would prefer to honour the remaining two years of his contract rather than join another English side.
Super Cup Ticket Allocation
UEFA has confirmed that Villa and Paris Saint-Germain will each receive 7,000 tickets for the Super Cup on 12 August in Salzburg. Of the Stadion Salzburg's net capacity of 28,500, a further 9,000 tickets will be available to the general public.
New Kit Revealed
Villa released their home kit for the 2026/27 season earlier this month, manufactured by adidas for the third consecutive year. The design draws inspiration from the 1960s. Away and third strips are expected in the coming weeks.
