New: Aston Villa will take their appeal to formally register January signing Brian Madjo to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) on July 1. Fifa rejected initial case, citing the 17yo could not play for any #AVFC team until he turns 18. @theathleticfc.bsky.social https://www.

Como have turned down a very huge bid of over €50M from Aston Villa for Martin Baturina. The croatian talent is considered non-transferable. @NicoSchira #AVFC

UEFA confirm that Aston Villa and Paris Saint-Germain will each be allocated 7,000 tickets for the Super Cup. Of Stadion Salzburg’s net capacity of 28,500, another 9,000 tickets will be made available to the general public. #AVFC

Aston Villa hold an interest in Harvey Barnes, who is entering the final two years of his contract, but Newcastle are unlikely to entertain offers, beyond sizeable ones, for the 28-year-old, given Anthony Gordon has already left. @ChrisDHWaugh #AVFC #NUFC

Newcastle United have rekindled their interest in signing James Trafford as work continues to bolster the club’s goalkeeping unit. He remains their top target. @David_Ornstein #AVFC #NUFC
