Aston Villa Daily News Roundup

Villa aim to end a three-game league slump at home to West Ham as Unai Emery weighs fitness calls on Youri Tielemans, Matty Cash, Emiliano Buendia and Ezri Konsa, with Jarrod Bowen a key threat and Crysencio Summerville absent for the visitors. A report links Jack Grealish with a summer return on reduced wages after Europa League progress, while Ross Barkley is contracted until 2027 despite a 2026 myth and has logged only 326 minutes, on reported £60,000 a week. An ex-Villa scout suggests Buendia could be moved on, with Leeds and Daniel Farke cited as potential suitors.

An ex-Villa scout says Emi Buendia “could be moved on” after a mixed season under Emery, suggesting Leeds and Daniel Farke may revisit a long-term move for the Aston Villa playmaker.

Villa seek to halt three-game league slump and protect their top-four place against resurgent, relegation-threatened West Ham. Tielemans a doubt, Cash, Buendia and Konsa in contention. Bowen a major threat; Summerville out for the Hammers.

Report claims Jack Grealish is open to a pay cut to rejoin Aston Villa this summer after Europa League quarter-final progression.

Ross Barkley has played only 326 minutes this season but is under contract at Aston Villa until 2027, debunking a 2026 expiry myth. He is reportedly on £60,000 a week.

Aston Villa are targeting Lazio centre-back Mario Gila, with a €30m offer reported. Real Madrid would receive 50% via a resale clause. Milan, Inter and Chelsea are also interested, while Lazio seek €30-35m.
