Aston Villa have made a surprise late move for a Manchester United winger.
Unai Emery's side have reportedly submitted a concrete offer for Amad Diallo as the summer window enters its final week, according to 225Foot.
The 24-year-old Ivorian has four years left on a contract he signed in January 2025, and United have shown little sign of wanting to sell.
Furthermore, the Lions are closing in on the £47m capture of Paris Saint-Germain attacker Ibrahim Mbaye, while new signings Alejandro Garnacho and Nicolas Jackson can also cover on the right flank, but that has not stopped the transfer carousel from swirling.
The Football Whispers Index scores every transfer rumour across five weighted factors. Read how it works here.
Amad Diallo to Aston Villa rated ‘Very unlikely'

32/100 TPI Very unlikely Manchester United have already told Diallo he is not for sale, and Aston Villa are close to signing a different right winger anyway. Updated 30 August 2026 Financial viability14 / 25 Buying club need11 / 20 Player motivation6 / 15 Selling club incentive4 / 20 Market momentum6 / 20 Financial viability14 / 25 Diallo is valued at £39m (€45m) by Transfermarkt, the rough marker for any move given no fee has been reported. He signed a new contract in January 2025 that runs to June 2030, leaving Manchester United four years of control over his future. His £120,000-a-week fixed salary sits well below Bruno Fernandes' £300,000 as United's top earner. Aston Villa's own wage bill, led by Boubacar Kamara on £150,000 a week, is considerably smaller than United's. Buying club need11 / 20 Leon Bailey has not featured for Aston Villa since pre-season and is closing in on an exit, with interest from Al Diriyah, Hull City and Sevilla. Villa have already agreed a deal in principle worth £47m for PSG's Ibrahim Mbaye, a natural right winger, with the move being finalised. Nicolas Jackson arrived from Chelsea to replace departing striker Ollie Watkins, not to add to the wide options. Emiliano Buendia, nominally a left winger, is currently Villa's most likely man on the right in Bailey's absence. Player motivation6 / 15 Diallo started 27 of Manchester United's 32 Premier League matches last season. Fabrizio Romano reported this summer that Manchester United had told Diallo directly he was not for sale. Both clubs will play Champions League football in 2026-27, Villa having qualified as Europa League winners. Selling club incentive4 / 20 Manchester United have publicly stated Diallo is not for sale this summer, viewing him as part of Michael Carrick's plans. United have no replacement lined up for Diallo's role on the right flank. United have already committed close to £150m to a midfield rebuild this summer, with Carlos Baleba, Andrey Santos and Youri Tielemans all arriving. Market momentum6 / 20 Ivorian outlet 225 Foot was first to report Villa's “concrete offer” for Diallo on 28 August. No fee or package has been reported by any outlet covering the story. The rumour breaks with less than a week left before the Premier League window closes on 1 September 2026. The verdict32 / 100 This rumour sits in Very unlikely territory, held down by Manchester United's insistence that Diallo is not for sale and by Aston Villa already finalising a different right winger. It happens only if the Mbaye deal collapses late and Villa still need senior cover on the right before Tuesday's deadline. It dies the moment Mbaye's move is confirmed, which every current report suggests is close.Hence then, the article about is amad diallo joining aston villa man united very unlikely to sell 39m winger football whispers index score was published today ( ) and is available on Football Whispers ( Middle East ) The editorial team at PressBee has edited and verified it, and it may have been modified, fully republished, or quoted.
