Miracle at Villa Park: How a Last-Gasp Transfer Saved Aston Villa from Relegation

Aston Villa has disclosed how dangerously close they were to a Premier League collapse this summer.

“At the end of the season, we found ourselves in a situation where we had to sell players for profit in order to avoid being in violation of PSR,” Vidagany stated. Football holidays typically occur from May 20 to June 30. It was not intended for us.

“There was a previous issue that needed to be resolved.Everyone was cheering and enjoying the Champions League for a little while after that was over. Monchi and I were discussing how to avoid ruining this lovely year with a point deduction.Given the impending end of the Premier League’s fiscal year and the necessity to close a £25 million deficit, something had to be done. The club had to let go of one of its star turns.

Douglas Luiz was ultimately transferred to Juventus for £42 million, a few hours before the June 30 deadline. It was very almost fatal. They have also avoided perhaps losing their season as well as a ten-point deduction.

The problem-solving team at Unai Emery included director of football operations Damian Vidagany and sports director Monchi, two of the team’s top recruiters.Yes, they did. Fair enough.
