Emery’s Comments

During a press briefing on Friday, Emery shared his thoughts: “Transfers often involve speculation—some players may stay, while others might be on the verge of departure. It’s part of the game.”

“It’s a positive outcome. I couldn’t be happier. He is arguably the finest goalkeeper globally, and his dedication to Aston Villa is significant.”

“He continually strives to reach his full potential, demonstrating a strong commitment to the club. Emi is content and understands that he has important roles with both Aston Villa and his national team.”
