Aston Villa have signed former Manchester United defender Victor Lindelof on a two-year contract and are closing in on loan deals for Harvey Elliott and Jadon Sancho.<\/b><\/p>\n

Sweden captain Lindelof, 31, was a free agent, with his United contract having expired at the end of last season.<\/p>\n

United winger Sancho, 25, turned down a move to Roma earlier in the window, while there has also been interest from fellow Italian side Juventus.<\/p>\n

Liverpool’s 22-year-old midfielder Elliott, meanwhile, is nearing a move which includes an obligation to buy for \u00a335m.<\/p>\n

Both Sancho and Elliott are now at Villa to complete medicals and the formalities of their loan moves.<\/p>\n

United sources say Aston Villa will pay 80% of Sancho’s wages, while there are easily achievable bonuses which should bring the total up to 100%.<\/p>\n

Sancho has spent the past 18 months on loan at Borussia Dortmund and Chelsea but neither club made the deal permanent.<\/p>\n

Chelsea paid a \u00a35m penalty to United for reneging on an obligation to sign the England attacker.<\/p>\n

Elliott has played just once for Liverpool this season, making a one-minute appearance from the bench in their Premier League game against Newcastle.<\/p>\n

In June, he said he does not want to be “wasting years”<\/a> in his career and would consider his Liverpool future.<\/p>\n

He was limited to 18 Premier League appearances as Liverpool won the title last season, 16 of them as a substitute.<\/p>\n

In comparison, he made 53 appearances, including 27 starts, in the 2023-24 campaign when he scored four goals and provided 11 assists.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Aston Villa have signed former Manchester United defender Victor Lindelof on a two-year contract and are closing in…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":389332,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4100],"tags":[94,79,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-389331","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-football","8":"tag-football","9":"tag-sports","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115129335394478481","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/389331","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=389331"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/389331\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/389332"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=389331"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=389331"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=389331"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
