Aston Villa will reportedly look to re-sign 29-year-old Spanish international Marco Asensio from PSG in the summer transfer window.
According to a report by Sacha Tavolieri on Sky Switzerland, Marco Asensio remains the subject of interest from Aston Villa. The Villans are eager to complete overhauling their offensive unit in the summer transfer window by signing a versatile attacker. So, the 29-year-old Paris Saint-Germain outcast has emerged as a target for the West Midlands outfit.
The Villans are accelerating their move to re-sign the Spaniard, and they will submit their opening bid to secure his services. While discussions between Aston Villa and PSG will begin soon, Les Parisiens will demand around €20 million to part ways with Asensio in the summer transfer window.
Marco Asensio: In search of stability
Marco Asensio has arrived at a critical juncture in his career, only two years after completing a Bosman move to Paris Saint-Germain. With the 29-year-old attacker in the peak years of his career, he must find a club where he can find a stable foothold for a few seasons, with PSG telling him he has no future under Luis Enqiry.
The Spanish international revived his fortunes with an excellent loan spell with Aston Villa in the second half of the 2024/25 season. Asensio chipped in with eight goals and one assist in only 1,119 minutes of game time for the Villans. However, while a permanent move to Aston Villa has not seen the light of day, the Villans have initiated the move to re-sign him in the summer transfer window.
Can Aston Villa re-sign Asensio?
Aston Villa’s interest in re-signing Marco Asensio makes sense. The Villans have been scouring the market for multiple versatile attackers in the summer transfer window after failing to complete permanent moves for Asensio and Marcus Rashford. While Evann Guessand has arrived at Villa Park, Aston Villa will aim to add another productive forward to Unai Emery’s squad.
With Asensio struggling to find a suitor this summer, a return to Aston Villa is on the cards. The Villans are intensifying their efforts to re-sign the 29-year-old Spaniard, and they are ready to submit their opening bid to secure his services. Meanwhile, PSG will demand around €20 million to part ways with Asensio, and the two clubs will begin their discussions soon.
So, while other options remain on Aston Villa’s wishlist, it will be interesting to see if the 29-year-old Spanish international will return to Villa Park in the final weeks of the summer transfer window after the West Midlands outfit and PSG discuss an offer to land the former Real Madrid attacker.
