Aston Villa transfer targets summer 2026:

Aston Villa did not have an eventful 2025 summer transfer window, as the ambitious Midlands club were restricted as to what they could do due to PSR issues.

As such, they missed out on key targets like ex-Villa star Jack Grealish, who moved to Everton on loan from Manchester City. Nonetheless, there are still players Villa could sign this summer as they look to build on a season of potentially qualifying for the Champions League.

TEAMtalk report Villa and Newcastle United are interested in hijacking a potential move to Chelsea for Karim Coulibaly. Werder Bremen are demanding between £30-50m for their young centre-back.
