The latest Aston Villa transfer news: every confirmed deal in the 2026/27 window, who they’re linked with, and the odds on what happens next. Updated 20 August 2026.
Villa's summer pivots on one number: the £120m Chelsea paid for Morgan Rogers, the biggest fee of this window and the anchor of a £197m sales column that has rebalanced the club's books in a single window.
The reinvestment has been surgical rather than splashy — Johan Manzambi arriving from Freiburg as a club-record £51m buy, João Gomes adding steel, Alejandro Garnacho on loan for the wide threat Rogers took with him.
