Belgian-Ghanaian midfielder Romeo Lavia is being linked with a move from Chelsea to Premier League rivals Aston Villa, with the 22-year-old under contract at Stamford Bridge until June 2030.
Lavia has made eight Premier League appearances for Chelsea this season, scoring once and providing one assist. He has started 60% of the club’s league matches and has played 51% of the available minutes.
The midfielder joined Chelsea from Southampton in August 2023 in a deal worth €62.1m. His current market value is listed at €25m, although there is no reported fee attached to the potential move to Villa.
Lavia’s Chelsea career has been affected by limited availability since his arrival, but he was part of the squad that won the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup. He has also made two appearances in the EFL Cup this season.
The possible move would be between two Premier League clubs, with Aston Villa identified as the interested side. No agreement has been confirmed and the rumour does not include a reported probability or details of negotiations.
Lavia remains a Chelsea player and is tied to the club on a long-term contract, with his current deal due to expire on 30 June 2030.
