Villa are prepared to consider suitable offers for the striker but are not actively looking to sell, according to Jacob Tanswell on July 21st. Abraham remains part of Unai Emery's plans unless a proposal suits both club and player. The 28-year-old returned permanently in January 2026 and scored three times in 16 appearances while managing a shoulder problem, undergoing surgery after the season and losing much of pre-season to rehabilitation. No club has been named and no offer has been received. Villa's parallel interest in a permanent move for Nicolas Jackson would make a departure more likely, though Abraham's Premier League experience and different physical profile to Ollie Watkins give Emery a reason to keep him.
