Aston Villa are open to offers for highly-rated defender Triston Rowe in the final weeks of the summer transfer window, with a buy-back option on the table. The 19-year-old right-back has attracted interest from a number of Championship and European sides in recent weeks.

Triston Rowe has featured in numerous pre-season matches under Unai Emery in recent weeks and came off the bench in their 2-1 defeat to Bayern Munich on Friday. The right-back spent the 2025-26 campaign on loan at FC Annecy in Ligue 2, where he made 32 appearances for the club and scored one goal in all competitions.

Villa could want a buy-back option included in any deal for the youngster this summer. The buy-back option would allow Villa to re-sign Rowe in the future if they change their minds about selling him.

The right-back is currently on the transfer market, with several clubs interested in signing him. It is not yet clear whether Villa will accept a bid for Rowe or keep him at the club.
