Sky Sports reported that Villa hopes to finalize Asensio's return to the Premier League as soon as possible, and they are accelerating the player transfer.
After selling Jacob Ramsey to Newcastle this week for a transfer fee of £40 million (including bonus), Villa is preparing to offer Paris the first official offer to buy Asensio. The Spanish striker was seen by Villa sports director Monci as a priority signing target this summer.
However, under the restrictions of the Fiscal Fairness Act, Vera had to use a variety of means to operate the transfer. Villa will start formal negotiations with Paris this week in an effort to reach a permanent transfer agreement for Asensio. The player's current contract with Paris is signed until June 30, 2026. Enrique has a good relationship with Asensio, and Paris has clearly informed the players that as long as they receive a quote that satisfies them, they will not prevent him from leaving the team.
A quote with a total value of nearly 20 million euros (including bonuses) may satisfy the Paris management. Asensio himself has agreed with Villa on personal terms and he will sign a three-year contract.
