Aston Villa boss Unai Emery is increasingly likely to leave Villa Park this summer due to financial restrictions surrounding the club.
According to a report from Football Insider, Unai Emery, who has done wonders for Aston Villa, could end up leaving the club this summer because of their financial situation. Given what he has achieved in recent years, the Birmingham-based club will certainly try everything in their power to ensure he continues at Villa Park.
Emery took charge of the Premier League outfit towards the end of 2022, and he has completely transformed them. The Spaniard has taken them from a mid-table side to one that competes for a place in the UEFA Champions League.
The 54-year-old has had a massive impact on the club and is on the verge of helping them secure UEFA Champions League football. However, Emery’s long-term future at the club remains uncertain.
Why Unai Emery could push for an exit?
While Unai Emery’s contract runs until the summer of 2029, he could end up leaving Aston Villa this summer because of financial restrictions surrounding them. Despite all the success, the West Midlands outfit have struggled to meet the financial regulations in the Premier League as well as in Europe.
Not only have the Villans been forced to sell some of their stars, but they have also been finalised in the past. According to a report back in February, they could be fined by UEFA once again, despite registering a profit last season.
Aston Villa once again seem to be guilty of breaching UEFA’s squad cost rules, which limit the clubs to spend 70 per cent of their revenues on wages, transfer fees and agents’ fees. The Villans have been in such a situation for some time now, and they have lost quite a few top stars because of that.
Emery is frustrated by the current situation, and he could force an exit in the summer amid his links with high-profile clubs like Real Madrid. It could be a massive boost for a club like Manchester United, who are looking for their next permanent manager, although it is unclear if the Spaniard features on their wishlist.
