16:55 — Visit Rwanda sponsorship deal complicates Manzambi transfer

Aston Villa’s move for Johan Manzambi has reportedly been complicated by the club’s new Visit Rwanda front-of-shirt sponsorship.

Manzambi, who was born in Switzerland to parents from Angola and DR Congo, is said to be uncomfortable with the partnership, with reports suggesting his representatives were unaware Villa were negotiating the Rwanda tourism board deal before personal terms were agreed. Reuters reports that Amnesty International has accused Rwanda of using the sponsorship as sportswashing amid the ongoing conflict in eastern DR Congo.

No recognised transfer reporter has yet confirmed the €60m-plus deal itself is under threat, and Villa remain favourites to get the transfer over the line, with Newcastle continuing to monitor the situation.

11:25 — DONE DEAL: Dobbin completes permanent Southampton move

09:31 — Estupiñan talks advance as Forest join Bergvall race

Villa’s rebuild is picking up pace on two fronts. Talks with AC Milan over left-back Pervis Estupiñán, lined up as Lucas Digne’s replacement, are said to be advancing, with Fabrizio Romano and Daniele Longo (via SempreMilan) reporting Villa have held fresh discussions even as Milan hold out for a fee closer to their valuation. Villa are believed to have an opening bid in the region of €10-12m on the table, well below Milan’s €18m asking price, meaning there is still a gap to close.

In midfield, Nottingham Forest have now entered the race for Tottenham’s Lucas Bergvall, according to reports, adding fresh competition as Villa continue to weigh up a move following Youri Tielemans’ switch to Manchester United.

06:50 — Quiet Wednesday morning as Villa’s World Cup contingent takes centre stage

No fresh transfer movement to report first thing on Wednesday, with attention split between Bodymoor Heath and the World Cup. Ezri Konsa, Morgan Rogers and Ollie Watkins are all preparing to face Emiliano Martinez when England meet Argentina in Wednesday’s semi-final, a split allegiance explored in full here.

Behind the scenes, the picture remains as it was overnight: Youri Tielemans’ move to Manchester United is done, Lucas Digne is set for Paris Saint-Germain, and Villa have publicly closed the door on any Emiliano Martinez exit to Juventus. On the incomings side, talks over Pervis Estupiñán remain open, Johan Manzambi’s switch from Freiburg is still progressing toward a medical, and Villa continue to weigh interest in both João Palhinha and a late move for Nicolas Jackson. Expect the pace to pick up as the day goes on.

22:35 — Talking Points: Martinez stays, Rwanda deal closes in as Villa’s midfield rebuild speeds up

Tuesday brought a stack of Villa news together in one day, recapped in the site’s Talking Points round-up: a closed-door denial on any Emiliano Martínez exit, confirmation of Youri Tielemans’ move to Manchester United, and two fresh midfield names — João Palhinha and Adam Wharton — on Unai Emery’s radar as a replacement.

Off the pitch, Villa are closing in on a record front-of-shirt sponsorship deal with Visit Rwanda worth up to £20m a season, according to The Athletic, with an official announcement still to come. Pre-season is also under way at Bodymoor Heath as five Villa players continue chasing World Cup semi-final places.

20:35 — Villa shut down Martinez-to-Juventus talk: “No intention of letting him leave”

Aston Villa have moved to close down speculation linking Emiliano Martinez with a move to Juventus, with director of football operations Damian Vidagany telling 365 Scores the club has “no intention” of selling the World Cup-winning goalkeeper this summer.

Vidagany’s quotes, relayed by Fabrizio Romano, are about as direct a denial as a club can issue: “Martinez will stay with us… the team needs his dedication and extensive experience, it is a very important element in our project for next season.” It follows Villa’s earlier rejection of reported Juventus valuations first around €6m and more recently nearer €10m.

18:15 — DONE DEAL: Tielemans completes Manchester United switch

Youri Tielemans has completed his move to Manchester United, with the club officially confirming the Belgian’s arrival on a permanent deal after activating the £35million release clause in his Aston Villa contract.

United say the move is subject to registration, but Tielemans has already been unveiled and spoken to the club’s media, calling it “hard to describe just how proud” he is to sign. United director Jason Wilcox said the 29-year-old will add composure, creativity and leadership to Michael Carrick’s midfield rebuild.

It brings an end to a saga that has run through this week at Villa Park, from Tuesday’s release-clause trigger through Monday’s medical in Manchester. Attention at Villa now turns fully to who replaces him in Unai Emery’s midfield, with Palhinha and Jackson both already faces in that conversation.

17:29 — Tielemans in United medical as £35m Villa exit nears

Youri Tielemans is undergoing his Manchester United medical after United triggered the release clause in his contract. David Ornstein reported Villa “had no wish to sell” and had offered a new deal, but had little choice once the clause was activated. Fabrizio Romano says a long-term contract follows once the medical is passed.

Tielemans leaves having made 134 appearances for Villa since joining on a free transfer in 2023, scoring 10 and assisting 25.

15:00 — Palhinha and Jackson both on Villa’s radar as business ramps up

With Tielemans’ exit all but confirmed, Villa are weighing a move for Bayern Munich’s Joao Palhinha as a defensive-minded replacement, according to Record, though Juventus, Benfica and Sporting are also credited with interest. Separately, Simon Phillips reports Villa could make a late move for Chelsea striker Nicolas Jackson, a player well known to Unai Emery from their time together at Villarreal — though no offer has been made for either target yet.

11:20 — Andres Garcia closing in on Getafe loan exit

The Birmingham Mail reports the Spanish side are close to agreeing terms, with Garcia expected to complete the switch this week.

11:05 — Romano: Tielemans medical complete, deal ‘done and sealed’

Fabrizio Romano says Youri Tielemans has completed his medical at Manchester United and will sign a five-year contract, running to June 2031, later today. The £35-36m switch follows United triggering the release clause in his Villa deal on Monday.

With Tielemans’ exit now all but confirmed, attention turns to how Unai Emery replaces him in midfield — Villa reportedly weighing up Adam Wharton and Lucas Bergvall as long-term options.

07:33 — Tielemans now in Manchester for his medical

Youri Tielemans is already in Manchester for the first stage of his medical, with Villa confirming on Tuesday morning that the exit is now moving through the paperwork stage after United triggered his £35m release clause on Monday.

Villa are said to have offered Tielemans fresh terms in a bid to change his mind, but the Belgium international had already decided to leave once the clause was activated. Unai Emery must now find fresh central-midfield cover before Villa’s own pre-season resumes in earnest.

22:35 — Talking Points: Villa’s busiest day of the summer moves on four fronts

Monday turned into one of the busiest single days of Aston Villa’s window, as Monday’s Talking Points lays out: Villa closed in on Johan Manzambi after hijacking Newcastle’s move, agreed the £9m sale of Lewis Dobbin, turned to Pervis Estupinan as Ian Maatsen’s long-term left-back alternative, and absorbed the blow of losing both Lucas Digne (to PSG) and Youri Tielemans (to Manchester United, after United triggered his release clause).

Four separate storylines, all moving inside a matter of hours — a snapshot of how active Unai Emery’s rebuild has become this week.

20:50 — Here we go? Villa agree full terms for Manzambi in Newcastle hijack

Aston Villa have reached a full agreement with Freiburg to sign Johan Manzambi, completing their hijack of Newcastle United’s move for the Switzerland international. Fabrizio Romano reports the fee is worth slightly more than €60m, with personal terms on a long-term contract also settled with the 20-year-old.

The deal addresses Unai Emery’s need for central midfield cover following Amadou Onana’s long-term knee injury, and caps a rapid turnaround after Newcastle appeared to be in pole position for the World Cup star only a day earlier. A medical and official confirmation are expected to follow before the move is rubber-stamped.

20:00 — Villa turn to Maatsen as long-term left-back, open Estupiñán talks

With Digne’s exit taking shape, Villa reportedly view Ian Maatsen as their long-term first-choice left-back.

Arsenal’s pursuit of Morgan Rogers remains the dominant story at Villa Park, with Unai Emery bracing for a fight to keep his star man.
