Aston Villa could already be lining up a loan exit ahead of the summer transfer window.
The Villans haven’t been shy about allowing talented players to leave on loan if their minutes are set to be severely limited at Villa Park.
This has been on show this season with Louie Barry and Enzo Barrenechea who have both managed to flourish on temporary deals away from B6.
As contract negotiations continue at Bodymoor Heath, a new loan move could be on the cards before the Premier League season comes to an end.

Aston Villa to allow Rory Wilson loan deal
Villa News reported that Monchi and Damian Vidagany have re-opened discussions with Wilson over a new contract with Villa.
This has seen positive talks get underway despite “coercive” behaviour towards the 19-year-old being highlighted back in October.

Now the dialogue has begun once again over a shorter term contract after nine clubs showed an interest in signing the Scotland under-19 international earlier in the season.
If the teenage striker is to agree to a new contract at B6, Villa News understands that a loan move could be on the table moving into next season.
Sources close to the player have revealed that the decision to depart Villa Park on a temporary basis will be down to the striker as opposed to the Villans hierarchy.
If the option to make a temporary switch is taken up by Wilson, Villa News has been told that first team visibility could be on the cards to increase his chances of featuring under Unai Emery.
The Scot has been a regular goalscorer since signing from Rangers back in 2022 but has failed to make an appearance in claret and blue for many months.

Wilson could benefit from loan deal
There is no doubt that Wilson is a talented player but at 19 years old, has a serious lack of first-team football under his belt.
The youngster is yet to feature for the Villans’ first team despite being highly rated by the club since signing from Rangers back in 2022.
It will come as a huge boost to everyone associated with the B6 club to tie the forward down to a new contract.
If he is to do so, he could look to learn from Barry who has been so successful away from Villa Park on loan with Stockport County.

A loan move to play some regular senior football could prove to be exactly what the Scot needs after what has been a difficult season.
Wilson has dealt with an ankle injury this season but now appears to be on the road to recovery in every sense and could be set to kickstart his Villa career.
