But the club’s director of football operations warned there can be no shortcuts to success, stating Villa will never be in the position to compete financially with European football’s heavyweights and spend “£70, 80 or 90million” on a player.
Vidagany has played a key role behind the scenes since Emery joined three years ago but says the job is “not yet done” with the manager and his staff hungry to reach greater heights.
That is despite the acknowledgement Villa must continue to tread carefully in the transfer market in order to comply with both the Premier League and Uefa’s spending rules.
Villa reached the quarter-finals of last season’s Champions League before being knocked out by eventual winners Paris Saint-Germain.
