Aston Villa, despite securing a spot in next season's Champions League by finishing fourth, is facing financial challenges. The club must comply with the Premier League's Profit and Sustainability Rules, which will force them to sell at least one key player for a significant fee this summer to finance new signings. This financial pressure comes despite their recent success, marking their first Champions League qualification in 42 years. Unai Emery, the team's manager, acknowledged the demanding nature of the Premier League and is already focused on strengthening the squad for next season.

Unai Emery was asked for his favourite moment this season: He said it was Nottingham Forest away. He told players before & after ("we believed more) to stay close to Tottenham and they'll be around the CL places. He reminded his players 2 weeks ago. #AVFC https://t.co/LEuuAitM67
