Aston Villa Eyes First Major Summer Transfer Amid Chelsea’s PSR Concerns
Published
1 year agoon

Mauricio Pochettino’s departure from Chelsea was partly influenced by the decision to sell Conor Gallagher.
Now, Aston Villa is eyeing Gallagher to strengthen their squad ahead of their Champions League campaign next season. Chelsea is open to negotiations due to Profit and Sustainability Rules, while Villa faces financial pressures.
Despite challenges posed by their financial limits, Villa remains hopeful of striking a deal as the transfer market gains momentum. With various clubs, including those from the Saudi Pro League and potentially Bayern Munich, gearing up for deals, Chelsea is under pressure to make significant sales before June 30.
Manager Unai Emery sees Gallagher as a good fit for Villa’s new approach. While Tottenham Hotspur remains interested in the midfielder, securing a deal may not be as straightforward as before. Gallagher’s potential sale was reportedly a factor in Mauricio Pochettino’s departure from Chelsea, as he was reluctant to part ways with the midfielder.
