TOM COLLOMOSSE: Aston Villa are ready to let one of their senior left-backs Lucas Digne or Alex Moreno leave this summer as Unai Emery prepares his squad for the Champions League. Digne, 30, was the subject of strong interest from Al-Hilal last summer and though he is valued highly by Emery, he is one of the club's higher earners. Moreno, 31, joined Villa in January 2023 but his progress has been hampered by injuries, and he may return to Spanish football. With Villa needing to sell in June to stay in line with the Premier League's profitability and sustainability regulations, they are pressing ahead with the possible sales of Douglas Luiz and Jhon Duran. Luiz is keen to join Juventus but the deal hinges on players moving in the opposite direction, with USA midfielder Weston McKennie currently stalling on a move to England. Samuel Iling junior is the other player who would join Villa as part of the agreement, with Juventus paying about £20million for Luiz.
