Marco Asensio’s future at PSG is still uncertain after he spent the second half of last season on loan at Aston Villa. The Spaniard impressed in the Premier League, but Aston Villa initially decided against making the move permanent.

Manager Unai Emery is eager to bring him back, believing the 28-year-old can add creativity, experience, and quality to the attack. Aston Villa’s pursuit has also been helped by Jacob Ramsey’s £40 million move to Newcastle United, freeing up both funds and a squad spot to make the transfer possible.
