After leaving Barcelona, Alemany has been linked to several jobs, including those at Aston Villa and Atletico, but it’s not obvious if he would be interested in going back. He is currently yet to join a job and is being linked with a return to Barcelona.

Emerson Royal joined permanently in the early stages of the summer transfer window in 2021 and Yusuf Demir and Luuk De Jong (both loans) also joined in the summer of 2021. In the winter window of 2021/22, Ferran Torres, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Adama Traore (loan) were signed, while Dani Alves signed a few months prior but Barcelona spent big last summer, recruiting the likes of Raphinha, Jules Kounde and Robert Lewandowski.
According to Cadena SER, Alemany earned a salary of €1.4m per year at Barcelona, but if he made the move to Aston Villa, his fixed base salary was expected to quadruple, with his overall wage set to be €5-6m. His net worth isn’t known though.
However, he had rejected Aston Villa, one of his reasons for doing so revolved around their financial condition.
