Valid reason why Unai Emery will allow Aston Villa keeper to move to Spanish club

It’s set to be another high pressure, high octane season for Unai Emery and Aston Villa.

A first Champions League campaign for over four decades will pile the pressure on the first-team squad who will want to come charging out of the blocks from the first fixture against West Ham United.

Fellow Spaniard, Julen Lopetegui, will clearly want to win his first game in charge at the London Stadium, so two teams that are primed to attack should produce one of the better games of the opening weekend of 2024/25.
