Marco Asensio reacts to Lucas Digne’s three-word message amid ‘Aston Villa exit’ claim
Lucas Digne was upbeat in his message to the Aston Villa supporters despite speculation about his future at the club.
Aston Villa kept their Champions League hopes alive until the final day with a 2-0 win over Tottenham on 16 May at Villa Park.
Although Digne has been in solid form for Unai Emery’s side when called upon, he was an unused substitute in the Spurs victory.
The French full-back has featured in a more rotational role in recent weeks, starting five of Villa’s last ten Premier League matches, with four appearances spent on the bench.
His reduced playing time has fuelled speculation around a possible summer exit, with reports suggesting several clubs have made enquiries about Digne’s availability.
However, he remained positive amid the uncertainty and shared a message of appreciation for the fans as Villa continue their push for European football.
| Premier League table | Points | GD |
| 3. Newcastle | 66 | +22 |
| 4. Chelsea | 66 | +20 |
| 5. Aston Villa | 66 | +9 |
| 6. Man City | 65 | +24 |
| 7. Nottingham Forest | 65 | +13 |
Lucas Digne remains positive despite uncertain Aston Villa future
The Frenchman had a brief but meaningful message for supporters after the club’s crucial win, writing: “One to go.”
His post was met with support from teammates and fellow professionals, with Marco Asensio, Amadou Onana and Youri Tielemans among those who liked the message.
Since Ian Maatsen’s arrival last summer, Digne has seen his minutes reduced, prompting speculation around a potential departure at the end of the season.
Looking ahead to the summer, Football Insider has revealed that Aston Villa could be at risk of breaching the Premier League’s Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR) if they fail to secure Champions League football.
A sale of Digne, who is 31 and entering the final year of his contract, could help raise much-needed funds, especially with interest from clubs already surfacing.
Emi Martinez could join Lucas Digne in Aston Villa summer exit
With growing pressure to remain compliant with PSR regulations, Villa may be forced to consider offers for several key players. Another name linked with a potential departure is Emiliano Martinez.
Football Insider revealed the Martinez’s agent is actively pushing to secure a move for the World Cup winner this summer.
Martinez appeared to wave farewell to the Villa faithful during their final home match of the season, fuelling speculation.
With both Digne and Martinez possibly heading for the exit, a summer of transition could be on the horizon for Emery’s side.
