Ross Barkley is in talks over a move to Aston Villa after his outstanding season with Luton Town.
The 30-year old enjoyed a loan spell with Villa in 2020-21 and is keen to continue his career in the Premier League following Luton's relegation.
Villa need depth for their squad after qualifying for the Champions League and want to add a full-back, versatile centre-back, such as Atletico Madrid's soon to be free agent Mario Hermoso, two midfielders and a forward. Chelsea's Conor Gallagher is also of interest.
However, they will also need to sacrifice some of their squad to meet profit and sustainability guidelines.
Philippe Coutinho is wanted back in Brazil by Vasco da Gama while defender Diego Carlos is a potential target for AC Milan.
