- The strange scenario where Leon Bailey could extend Aston Villa contract before next transfer
Leon Bailey is stuck in yet another nightmare at Aston Villa.
The Jamaican international has enjoyed the highest of highs, but also suffered the lowest of lows at Villa Park.
It all looked set to come to an end earlier in the summer, with a move to Premier League newbies Hull City.

That didn't happen in the end, yet Unai Emery isn't exactly rushing to reintegrate him back into a barebones squad.
With the deadline now 72 hours away, Bailey could soon be back on his way out.

What is latest on Leon Bailey's exit?
Despite a permanent exit mostly discussed earlier in the summer, a loan move is now most likely.
Sacha Tavolieri has reported that Bailey could now even sign a new contract at Villa Park.

The Belgian journalist states that Sevilla have opened talks over a loan move for the Jamaican flyer.
Saudi side, Al Diriyah are now competing for the signing of the winger, too.
What is Leon Bailey's current contract?
This makes very little sense.
Bailey is out of contract in June 2027, so the goal this summer should have been to get his wages gone completely.
Aston Villa don't exactly need funds, given the amount they've raised through Morgan Rogers and others this summer.
Unai Emery not blessed with options but Leon Bailey persistence must not continue at Aston Villa
Of course, it's all the hope that Bailey will shine on loan and then move permanently next summer, but it's yet another gamble.

NSWE need to be more ruthless, either sell the winger or maybe even terminate his contract mutually if he wants a move away so badly.
If the loan doesn't go well this season, should it happen, then Villa are just stuck in the exact same position that they were in.
Bailey wants out, Villa don't want him, but yet they could continue to stick together.
