Onana Linked With Summer Move From Aston Villa as Big Fee Expected

Villa hold leverage through a 2029 contract that points to only a very large fee.

Overview

  • Former Villa scout Mick Brown says there is no shortage of interest in Amadou Onana and that a departure would not surprise him.
  • Reports reiterate previous tracking from Manchester United and Barcelona, though no formal bids have been reported.
  • Villa are expected to seek a profit on the roughly £50 million paid in 2024, with any sale requiring a substantial offer.
  • Onana has been a regular under Unai Emery this season with 24 appearances, drawing praise for his physicality and passing range alongside questions over consistency.
  • Separate reporting indicates Lucas Digne could be made available as Villa evaluate upgrades at left-back.
