00:00As in the Villa Winger, Leon Bailey is being targeted by Turkish giants Fenerbahce with Jose Mourinho looking to complete another Claritin Blue reunion in the Super League.
00:12Fener have already secured the signings of Diego Carlos in January and John Duran on loan from Almasur this summer.
00:19Now they're eyeing Bailey as part of Mourinho's rebuild in Istanbul.
00:22Fenerbahce also made an attempt to lure Marco Ascensio to Turkey, a former Villa Loni who is set to leave European champions PSG.
00:32However, the Spaniard is reportedly keen on remaining in one of Europe's top five leagues, with interests from Serie A and La Liga believed to be more appealing.
00:41Bailey, meanwhile, has endured a mixed spell since arriving from Bayer Leverkusen in 2021, but he finally found consistency during the 23-24 campaign, contributing 28 goals and assists in 52 games.
00:55That form earned the Jamaican a new contract in February, keeping him at Villa Park until 2027.
01:01With three years left on his deal, Villa are in a strong negotiating position and reportedly value the 27-year-old around £30 million.
01:08Meanwhile, Villa have agreed a €5 million deal to sign 19-year-old Muda Keber Cisse from LASK.
01:16He will return to the Austrian loan club for the upcoming season.
01:20Cisse is the latest of a series of young Villa defenders that they've added, following Yimeo Mosquera and Yassin Oskan.
01:29Under Monchi's guidance, Villa continue to prioritise data-driven and low-cost international signings.
01:35Academy graduate Sil Swicklitz is also set to head out on loan to a Ligue 1 side, with an announcement expected soon.
01:45While Villa continue to invest in experienced first-team contributors, their parallel focus on youth development measures a sustainable future.
01:53The goal is to create a deep and adaptable squad, one capable of competing at the highest level, while remaining compliant with financial regulations.
02:01With Monchi at the helm and Emery overseeing player progression, Villa are quietly building a modern football structure designed to deliver both stability and long-term success.
