After an amazing season in 2022, Rory Wilson left the Rangers.
Before leaving for Aston Villa this season, the youthful striker set a record with 49 goals for the Ibrox academy setup.
The club lost a talented player with a lot of potential, thus it was a big loss.
Wilson would relocate to Villa Park, where he would keep excelling with their academy teams, playing above his own age group and making sure the staff noticed
But the 18-year-old’s original three-year deal, which he signed when he decided to leave Glasgow, is about to expire this season, and he and his club are still at odds.
The gifted teenager has been given many new five-year contracts by the Premier League team, which is competing in this season’s Champions League, according to an afternoon report from the Athletic.
However, nothing has been signed as of yet.
Aston Villa made Rory Wilson a “series” of fresh contract offers, but Wilson turned them down.
Wilson still needs to improve a little bit before he can be taken seriously for Unai Emery’s first squad, according to the article, but his agent is hoping for a bigger salary.
The assertion is that Villa has declined to explore the possibility of surpassing its own academy salary structure, which would compel them to pay “more than twice the best-paid player in the academy and more than the first contracts of some members in Villa’s senior squad.”
In addition to an ankle injury, the contract talks have now been postponed, which is one rumored reason why Emery has not given the young player a look-in with his starting lineup.

In January, he can freely discuss a possible pre-contract departure with clubs, and considering his academic record, he has no shortage of suitors.
Additionally, it’s said that the compensation package for a January free transfer would only be about £270,000, which would persuade some European teams to pay attention.
