Emery says Chelsea and Aston Villa have no good relations after player transfers

Chelsea manager Unai Emery has publicly stated that there are “no good relations” between his club and Aston Villa following a string of recent player movements linking the two sides. The comment came during a post‑match interview after Chelsea’s 2‑1 victory over Liverpool, where Emery was asked about the growing number of transfers and loan deals that have involved both clubs over the past few months.

Emery’s remarks refer to a series of transactions that have seen Chelsea acquire a midfielder and a defender on permanent deals from Villa, while Aston Villa has taken two of Chelsea’s young prospects on loan to gain experience in the Premier League. Both clubs have declined to comment further, and the statement underscores a strained rapport that could affect future negotiations between the two sides.
