Aston Villa have set aside funds for Unai Emery to extend contracts and sign new players, sources have told Football Insider. In the latest edition of Football Insider's Inside Track podcast, senior correspondent Pete O'Rourke revealed that Villa intends to consistently compete with Europe's elite.
With ambitious forward plans, Villa wants to maintain its Champions League status after qualifying last season. As a result of Morgan Rogers' stellar start to the season, the club is planning to reward him and secure his future at Villa Park by giving him a substantial pay rise.
Based on well-placed sources, Emery's 22-year-old has surprised many and has established himself as a key player, earning him a salary comparable to those of other first-team players. Despite the club's limited experience in regular Champions League football, the objective remains to forge a path toward that goal in spite of caution regarding the issuance of large contracts.
The club plans to provide Emery with the support he needs, since he is recognized as an ambitious manager who will push for the club's support. To ensure the long-term commitment of key first-team players, funds are expected to be available. In addition, Emery will receive support on the transfer market, as Villa seeks to strengthen the squad.
Currently, Villa sits sixth in the Premier League table after the opening ten games, with five wins, three draws, and two losses. After four games without a win in all competitions, Emery's team prepares to play Liverpool on Saturday, 9 November. A significant error has been revealed by an expert that Tyrone Mings plans to address.
