Aston Villa are keen on recruiting a marquee signing this summer to replace the outgoing French international winger Moussa Diaby.
According to Football Insider, Aston Villa are keen to bring in a viable replacement for Moussa Diaby once he leaves. The 25-year-old is set to join Al-Ittihad in the coming days, thus leaving a big gap, which the club is aiming to fill with a marquee signing of sorts.
Aston Villa keen on a Moussa Diaby marquee replacement
Aston Villa are in the Champions League for the upcoming season and has plenty of work pending to be done in the transfer market. They have conducted some unusual deals, dominated mainly by their PSR obligations, which required the club to raise funds through player sales.
The sale of Douglas Luiz was a shocker, although Villa did get two players in return from Juventus, along with cash for the Brazilian international. They have since replaced him with Amadou Onana from Everton, which seems like a pound-for-pound replacement.
As they resolved one issue, the club, without the burden of PSR, have accepted a bid from Al-Ittihad for Moussa Diaby, with the 25-year-old France international set for his departure. The winger’s absence leaves a significant gap in Unai Emery’s attacking setup, which the club intends to fill with a marquee signing of sorts.
They have agreed on a deal for Jaden Philogene from Hull City, but he’s nowhere close to being the ideal replacement for Diaby. In fact, the young winger could add massive depth to the department in the upcoming season, as Aston Villa will try to bring a marquee signing, but who will that be?
Aston Villa’s Marquee winger options
Considering the gap and position Diaby leaves vacant with his departure, Aston Villa are ideally looking for a top-draw winger to replace the 25-year-old Frenchman. There are links to Raphinha, with the Brazilian winger likely to leave Barcelona should Nico Williams arrive, as the Catalans are engulfed in financial troubles that will need them to sell a player before buying another.
Incidentally, Aston Villa are also linked with Nico Williams, with the club in touch with the winger’s camp. As ambitious as it may sound, Williams will have plenty of other choices and better ones than Emery’s side, should he leave Athletic Club and not join Barcelona for some reason.
