Aston Villa are reportedly working on bringing Marco Asensio back to the club in a permanent €20m transfer from Paris Saint-Germain.
The Spanish playmaker spent the second half of last season on loan at Villa from PSG, and he performed well in his brief stint in English football.
According to Sky’s Sacha Tavolieri, it now looks like Asensio will be coming back to Villa Park on a three-year contract.
Asensio is expected to cost €20m to sign permanently, in what looks like a fine move for Villa to strengthen their attacking midfield department.
Jacob Ramsey is leaving Villa for Newcastle, as per Fabrizio Romano’s post below, so Asensio looks like a fine replacement…

Romano has claimed that Ramsey will move from Villa to Newcastle for £40m, so to bag a replacement like Asensio for just €20m looks like really smart business.

AVFC fans will surely be delighted to welcome Asensio back to the club after his positive impact there last season.

Although Rashford hasn’t ended up staying, it looks like Asensio will, and that should be a boost for the team for the season ahead.
