£5m Leicester City and Sheffield United arrival, £95m in sales - Aston Villa transfer window predicted

It's been a busy week at Aston Villa with players moving in and out of the football club.

The players got back in to the swing of things as they played their first pre-season friendly. A Villa squad that is missing some of their stars from Copa America and EURO 2024 ran out 3-0 winners against Walsall with Morgan Rogers on target.

Villa's team didn't include Moussa Diaby who is moving closer and closer to a move to Saudi Pro League side Al-Ittihad. To soften the blow of Diaby's imminent departure, Villa re-signed Jaden Philogene for a fee of £13m, and he has now joined up with his new teammates, and could potentially play against FC Spartak Trnava at the weekend.

The business isn't done there however as Amadou Onana is to undergo a medical on Sunday. A £50m bid has been accepted and the 22-year-old despite receiving late interest from Man United, has chosen Villa has his next destination.

Some players have departed the club this week too with Sebastian Revan heading to Wrexham for an undisclosed fee, whilst Finnish goalkeeper Viljami Sinisalo has joined Celtic for around £1m. More players are expected to follow as Unai Emery freshens up his squad for the upcoming campaign.

Transfers are unpredictable and things can happen in a flash. As a bit of fun, thanks to OLBG, they've gone on to Football Manager 2024 and predicted the outcome of the window. Business includes signings from clubs both in England and abroad, including a £60m swoop for two stars from RB Salzburg and Napoli. Flick through to see which players sign and who departs.
