How much money has Aston Villa spent on new players this millennium?
Aston Villa has long been a dominant force in the English Premier League, and they are one of just five English clubs
to have won the European Cup.
They have not been able to reach those heights in subsequent years, and they have even returned to the
Championship at times.
They are now attempting to re-establish themselves as a Premier League household name, and they have not
hesitated to spend heavily in order to do this.
Villa have spent more than £400 million in the last four seasons alone, and they even managed to sign former
Liverpool and Barcelona star Philippe Coutinho to underscore their goals.
But who are their most expensive transfers since the start of the millennium, and how much have they spent on each
campaign?
Following a disappointing period at Barcelona, Coutinho joined Aston Villa on loan in January 2022 in an attempt to
revitalize his career, reconnecting with former Liverpool teammate and manager Steven Gerrard.
On January 15, Coutinho made his Premier League debut, netting an equaliser against Manchester United in a 2-2
draw.
His strong performances in the second half of the 2021-22 season led to his permanent signing from Barcelona in the
summer of 2022 for only £18 million, making him one of the best values of the transfer window.
