After missing out on Champions League qualification, Aston Villa must sell some of their players to ease financial pressure. The club is open to offers for several key players, including striker Ollie Watkins, midfielder Jacob Ramsey, and fullback Lucas Digne.

Goalkeeper Emi Martinez is also likely to leave the club. Additionally, Aston Villa is now willing to consider offers from Saudi clubs for winger Leon Bailey, who was previously resistant to leaving.

The club spent over £100 million last summer, and now they need to balance their books. Missing out on Champions League qualification meant they lost out on significant revenue that would have come with participating in the tournament.
