ASTON VILLA MAKES CHOICE REGARDING LEON BAILEY CONTRACT

HITC Football has learned that Aston Villa is prepared to offer star attacker Leon Bailey a new and better contract.

The Jamaican forward has been a revelation at Villa Park, leading Unai Emery’s Aston Villa to six goals and five

assists in the Premier League this season.

The quick forward had a slow start to life in the Midlands after joining the team in the summer of 2021 from Bayer

Leverkusen, but this season Bailey has blossomed as Emery’s team looks to be in the title game. Given his

outstanding play this season for Villa, it should come as no surprise that they are eager to sign the forward to a new,

long-term contract.

The forward only has 18 months left on his current contract with the team, but according to insiders, Villa has made

it very apparent to Bailey and his representation that they want to start the process of discussing a new contract in

the new year. The club is eager to lock him down to a new contract because, naturally, Villa does not want to take the

chance of having the attacker enter the final year of his agreement in the summer of 2025.

As previously said, Bailey has had a fantastic campaign, and Emery is thrilled with his work, giving the go-ahead to

begin negotiations with the club’s football president Monchi, who is attempting to mediate the deal.

Given how much the forward has improved this season, it makes sense that Villa is eager to sign him to a new

contract. If the Midlands team had not initiated contact with the forward, there is a chance that other Premier

League and European teams would have noticed and might have made the 25-year-old an offer of their own.

With Villa rising from strength to strength in the league right now, sticking with Emery is undoubtedly the right

move.

For Bailey, staying longer at Villa Park makes perfect sense.
