    THE BIGGER PICTURE

    Per journalist Gaston Edul, the Argentine custodian is all set to leave the Villans at the end of the 2024-25 campaign. He has offers from two top European clubs, while a Saudi Pro League side also want the goalkeeper. The 32-year-old, however, is likely to reject the Saudi offer to stay at the highest level in Europe to prepare for the 2026 World Cup in North America.

  • WHAT UNAI EMERY SAID

    After the game, Villa boss Emery provided an update on the goalkeeper's future as he told reporters: "We will see. Of course, it is the last match here [this season], and I don't know. We will see about the team, the players, but of course, they are responding on the field."
