Summer 2025 Transfer Window - hopes, speculation, rumours etc.

[Brazilian Villain]

Selling
El Baron would be say £30m
And with Junior £20m
Barry £20m
Buendia £30m
that’s £100m of player sales and would think that be a target.

Footy, if you ever need something, just let me know and I'll see if I have one to sell to you.

[Dave]

Where on earth are you getting those numbers from?

Divide all of them by two and we'll have done pretty well.

[Footy-Vill]

Going rates ?! no ? It’s what I think transfer markets would say.

[Footy-Vill]

Aston Villa might sell Argentine midfielder Enzo Barrenechea, 23, to Valencia in the summer following a successful loan spell with the Spanish club. (Athletic - subscription required)

i’ve detailed the article on El Baron page but last paragraphs is where the take the speculation.

“Villa will map out next season’s plans to convince Barrenechea to stay or, with the recurring issue of PSR and Valencia keen to sign him permanently, decide to cash in. Both clubs share a good relationship and feel comfortable discussing their viewpoints.

Barrenechea’s signing may prove to be a slow-burning success, whether in Emery’s squad or their accountancy books”

[Dave]

Going rates ?! no ? It’s what market I think markets would say.

Iling-Junior was valued at £11.8m when we signed him. Would you say he's doubled in value over the last seven months?

The record fee for a player based on what they did at League One level is when we paid £8m for Fabian Delph. Nobody is spending more than that on Barry, particularly given the long time he's already spend out injured.

Buendia was £33m as a highly-rated 24 year old. The barely-played-in-two-years 28 year old version is not being sold for similar money.

Etc.

couple of examples then for prices and fees:

illing junior is england under21 player who has played champions league a fee of around £20m is justified
examples Hutchinson Ipswich £18m and Philogene

Louie Barry -comparing to price of Archer or Delap. both went for around £20m Delap wasn’t even playing first team football at Man City
Barry is now playing Championship football and with potential so it could be a case of up to £20m fee with that one

[AV84]

Barrenechea seems to have been having a decent season in a decent league. I have no idea what he's worth, but it has to be more than Iling-Junior, who flopped in Italy, and isn't setting the Championship on fire either.

[ADVILLAFAN]

Aren't Valencia skint?

Wonder if we will do some sale with a buy back clause.

I think we'll do some sort of sale of someone else and bring him back.

Makes sense.
I always felt this guy and even more than Junior were just sweeteners for Douglas Luiz transfer .

Barrenechea would just be saleable asset because McKennie was first choice and would have been in the first team squad

Barrenchea is playing a lot in La Liga so 30m+ is fair
illing-Jnr is 10m max unless he has a very strong end of season and stands out
Barry 6-8m - not proved a thing other than being injury prone above League 1 level
Buendia 10-12m at a push-like Dendoncker you know that loaned out with an option to buy means when the clubs they are loaned to realise that they aren’t exceptional they’ll be sent back…& he will be

On his few appearances so far Garcia looks a better player.

Yes, and cost half what Leipzig are paying, good work all round.

[Gareth]

Think it’s pretty clear from the lack of game time that he got compared to that Garcia has been parachuted into that Unai didn’t think he cut the mustard so feels like a good deal
