Emery’s Dilemma: Outgoings Key for Villa’s Transfer Plans

Aston Villa manager Unai Emery faces the necessity of offloading players in the January transfer window to make room for potential new signings. Reports suggest that Calum Chambers and Bertrand Traore may depart, while Jhon Duran and Leander Dendoncker are also mentioned as possible sales, according to the Mail.

The paper notes, “Aston Villa must offload players before considering new signings, with Bertrand Traore and Calum Chambers given the green light to leave.” Emery, mindful of Financial Fair Play regulations, acknowledges the need to sell before strengthening the squad, stating, “‘Chambers and Traore can go, and if that happens, we can think about adding one or two players to the squad – but we are not focused on a particular player.”

Emery is cautious about allowing midfielder Leander Dendoncker to leave on loan, despite receiving offers, and there is a possibility of him being sold in this window. While forward Jhon Duran, reportedly at odds with Emery, could be loaned out, Villa will only consider it if they are certain of securing a replacement for him, especially given the need for backup for Ollie Watkins.
