Edens & Sawiris plot stunning Aston Villa signing spree

Aston Villa is poised for a significant summer spending spree, with sources indicating a potential outlay of up to £200 million on new signings.

The club’s owners, Wes Edens and Nassef Sawiris, are prepared to greenlight substantial investments if Villa secures Champions League qualification and if midfielder Douglas Luiz seeks a move in the summer transfer window.

The owners express unwavering confidence in manager Unai Emery and transfer chief Mochi to sustain the team’s remarkable transformation witnessed over the past 18 months. Sources suggest that Douglas Luiz is viewed as the most probable departure among the club’s key players, given considerable interest from Premier League heavyweights.

This significant transfer budget comes despite Aston Villa’s announcement of £120 million in losses in their recent financial accounts. Currently occupying fourth place in the Premier League standings, Villa’s recent success, including three consecutive victories, underscores their competitive position.

Their upcoming fixture against Ajax in the Europa Conference League last-16 tie presents another opportunity to showcase their progress on the European stage.
