Unai Emery: Aston Villa and Chelsea 'want to kill each other'
Emery said the clubs’ links are only transfer business as UEFA reviews eight deals between the Premier League rivals.
- On Sunday, Aston Villa manager Unai Emery rejected the notion of a special relationship with Chelsea, describing recent player transfers between the clubs as purely business transactions rather than signs of partnership.
- The clubs have agreed eight permanent or loan deals over the past four years, more than any other two Premier League teams. Emery claimed Chelsea's aggressive pursuit represents an attempt to "kill us."
- Chelsea has spent more than 160 million on Villa players since 2022, while Villa paid around 102 million for players moving in the opposite direction, including Emi Martinez's 7.5 million transfer completed on Sunday.
- Uefa will likely scrutinize this summer's deals for potential "swaps," possessing power to limit recorded profits. Both clubs, subject to financial sanction agreements, maintain that all transactions were conducted independently.
- Villa hosts champions Arsenal in the Premier League on Monday. Despite less financial flexibility than Chelsea, Villa finished above them in three of the last four seasons, qualifying for the Champions League.
