In a move that’s raised eyebrows across the Premier League, a Liverpool star is set to join Aston Villa in a surprise £30m deal. With Unai Emery pushing for high-profile reinforcements, the transfer marks a bold statement of intent ahead of Villa’s European campaign.
Liverpool are set to move on a few player sales as the club look to finalise a clear-out of their squad and make some space in their wage bill and squad for new arrivals.
The club have already identified the players they want to move on and are waiting for concrete offers to land on their table in the ongoing transfer window.
Aston Villa have emerged as a potential destination for a Liverpool star who wants to play regular football next season, and a transfer is on the cards this summer.

Aston Villa emerge as favourites to sign top Liverpool star
Harvey Elliott played just 360 minutes of Premier League football last season under Arne Slot, and he has indicated that he is ready to leave the club.
Newcastle United, Wolves and Nottingham Forest have their eyes on the attacking midfielder, and Liverpool are ready to offload the player.
However, according to the Daily Mirror via Anfield Index, Aston Villa have emerged as the favourites to sign the player in the ongoing transfer window.
The Midlands club will be in the Europa League next season, and Elliott will have the opportunity to play in Europe if he moves to Villa Park this summer.
Liverpool want somewhere around £30m from his sale, and the Villans are prepared to meet their asking price in the ongoing window.
Unai Emery is a fan of Elliott, and the attacking midfielder will have a chance to be a pivotal player in an exciting Villa team, who were one point away from qualifying for the Champions League last season.
