Aston Villa are on the brink of securing the permanent signing of Marco Asensio from Paris Saint-Germain, with the Premier League club preparing an offer worth up to €15 million.
The figure is expected to satisfy PSG’s demands, paving the way for the Spanish midfielder’s return to Villa Park after a successful loan spell last season, sources close to the agents industry have informed CaughtOffside.
The 29-year-old winger joined Villa on loan for the second half of the 2024/25 campaign and made an immediate impact under manager Unai Emery.
Across his short stint, Asensio scored eight goals and delivered one assist, proving not only his goal scoring quality but also showing his versatility.
Unai Emery wants Marco Asensio at Aston Villa
Emery has been a strong advocate for bringing the Spaniard back permanently, seeing him as a player who can add creativity, experience, and quality to Villa’s attacking options.
Aston Villa have already reached an agreement with Asensio on a three-year contract, demonstrating their long-term commitment to the player.
The move has been financially enabled by the recent £40 million sale of Jacob Ramsey to Newcastle United, which freed up both squad space and transfer funds. That move effectively unlocked the opportunity for Villa to move decisively for Asensio.
From PSG’s side, the club are content to part ways with the player. Though his current deal in Paris runs until June 2026, head coach Luis Enrique has made it clear that Asensio does not fit into his long-term plans. As a result, the Ligue 1 champions are open to letting him leave if a suitable bid arrives.
