Leon Bailey set to depart Aston Villa for Saudi Arabian outfit Neom SC
Aston Villa winger Leon Bailey is reportedly on the verge of completing a sensational move to Saudi Arabian Pro League newcomers Neom SC, according to The Sun. The Jamaican international, who joined Villa from Bayer Leverkusen in the summer of 2021 for a fee in the region of £27 million, has struggled with consistency during his time at Villa Park, despite flashes of brilliance and moments of attacking flair. Advertisement Bailey has made over 146 appearances for the club, scoring 22 goals and providing 23 assists across all competitions. Due to Villa's abundance of options in attack, Bailey was on the periphery for large spells of the recently concluded season, where he made just 14 Premier League starts. Neom, one of the ambitious new additions to Saudi Arabia's rapidly growing top-flight league, have now submitted a formal offer worth around £25 million for the 27-year-old winger. After cruising to the First Division title with 79 points from 34 matches, Neom are seeking significant reinforcements ahead of life amongst the elite. Advertisement Bailey has already agreed to personal terms which would see him earn £10m per year, and the move is expected to be finalised in the coming weeks. A switch to Neom presents an opportunity for Bailey to play regularly and display a glimpse of the potential that earned him a move to the West Midlands. With Bailey on the verge of leaving and both Marcus Rashford and Marco Asensio both set to return to their parent clubs, Villa could be in the market for a new attacker and have been linked with a move for Harvey Barnes. Unai Emery's side just about missed out on a place in the Champions League last time out, finishing behind fifth-place Newcastle United on goal difference.

Man Utd could land £35m for Andre Onana as newly-promoted side eye transfer
Manchester United's finances are in a mess and the club will need to sell big-earning players this summer after failing to qualify for the Champions League following their Europa League Final nightmare Manchester United keeper Andre Onana is wanted by newly promoted Saudi Pro League side Neom SC in a £35million deal. Uncertainty hangs over the future of the Cameroonian, two years since his £47m arrival from Inter Milan. Onana, signed by former United boss Erik ten Hag, who managed him at Ajax, would earn a whopping £15m-a-year net of tax if he joined the Saudi First Division champions. Ambitious Neom have the backing of Newcastle 's owners, the Saudi Public Investment Fund, and have also been linked with a move for Manchester City 's departing Kevin De Bruyne. They completed successive promotions with the help of ex-West Ham and Brentford winger Said Benrahma, on loan from Lyon. Onana, 29, still has three years remaining on his contract but has been the target of criticism for a series of howlers in his time with United. And he came under fire again on Wednesday after failing to keep out Brennan Johnson's deflected winner for Tottenham in the Europa League final in Bilbao. The Red Devils are in desperate need of funds after failing to win the Europa League, and with it a return to the Champions League. Every member of United's squad is effectively up for sale, including skipper Bruno Fernandes, with a major rebuild under Ruben Amorim anticipated this summer as owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe looks to bring costs way down. Alejandro Garnacho is expected to leave after his Europa League final snub and subsequent fallout on social media. United hope to receive around £60-70m for the Argentine forward. Marcus Rashford is also expected to leave permanently after his loan spell at Aston Villa. United have put a £40m price tag on the forward. And they may well take big hits on a number of others, including Rasmus Hojlund, Jadon Sancho and Antony, who may find himself a market in Spain after impressing on loan at Real Betis.
