Aston Villa are reportedly prepared to part ways with midfielder Ross Barkley this month, as the club looks to navigate financial constraints while sustaining a surprise Premier League title charge. According to a recent report from the Daily Mail, the Aston Villa hierarchy has made the decision to listen to offers for the 32-year-old midfielder during the January window. Ross Barkley, who is currently earning reported wages of around 75,000 per week, has entered the final six months of his contract.

The 26-year-old signed a two-year deal with Aston Villa in July after her contract with the Catalan giants was terminated and she arrived in Birmingham knowing exactly she wants from the next phase of her career.

Wolves are expecting bids for their major players. Let's be honest, it looks like they will be relegated and it would take a miracle for them to stay up, so there is the view that they could sell in January to get the most money. Obviously nobody wants to lose their best players, but they might have to accept a big offer if it comes.

Well, I don't think Villa would want to sell him. I think he's been quite impressive for them from what I've seen of him certainly this year. But you know, that attraction of going to Barcelona for a Spanish player is pretty magnetic. And I'm sure he and his agent will be very tempted if that's the case. And if Barcelona can put together a deal that can actually get paid and get approved, which we know has been their problem.

Chelsea are investigating after a bottle was thrown towards the Aston Villa bench following their 2-1 Premier League defeat at Stamford Bridge on Saturday. After the full-time whistle, an open plastic bottle was directed at Villa's celebrating bench, splashing staff and players with a liquid that appeared to be water. One member of staff pointed towards the area from which the bottle came, which seemed to be a section containing both Chelsea fans and staff. It remains unclear who was responsible.

Semenyo has had a fine start to the 2025-26 season for the Cherries, with his eight goals a total only bettered by Igor Thiago (11) and Erling Haaland (19) in the Premier League. The 25-year-old has since been touted for a move away from the Vitality Stadium in January, with the likes of Manchester City and Liverpool also reportedly interested in him. He has a £65m release clause that can be triggered next month, though it has been rumoured that both Manchester United and Chelsea have opted out of a potential transfer.
