Leon Bailey is expected to leave Aston Villa before the transfer window closes, according to journalist Fabrizio Romano, with interest understood to have developed from clubs considering either a loan move or a permanent transfer.
Romano has reported that Al-Ettifaq, Hull City and Sevilla are among the clubs to have made inquiries about the conditions required to sign Bailey. Discussions remain ongoing, meaning the forward’s next move has not yet been finalised.
A departure before the end of the window is therefore considered likely, although the available information does not confirm whether Bailey would leave Aston Villa on loan or be transferred permanently. The clubs involved are continuing to assess the terms of a potential deal.
Al-Ettifaq, Hull City and Sevilla have all sought details about the possible arrangements, according to Romano. Their interest places the three clubs among the sides currently exploring an opportunity to recruit the Aston Villa player.
No agreement has been announced, and negotiations have yet to reach a conclusion. The situation remains open while the interested clubs and Aston Villa discuss the conditions of a possible move.
Bailey’s expected departure would come before the transfer window deadline, with the remaining negotiations likely to determine both the destination and structure of the deal. Until those discussions are completed, there is no confirmed outcome for the player.
Romano’s update indicates that the process has moved beyond initial speculation, with several clubs now actively making inquiries. However, the report does not state that any of the interested sides has submitted an accepted offer or reached an agreement with Aston Villa.
The immediate focus is on whether the talks lead to a loan or a permanent transfer. Al-Ettifaq, Hull City and Sevilla remain linked with the move, while negotiations continue ahead of the window closing.
