Marco Asensio was on loan at Aston Villa last season, and the West Midlands outfit are in talks to bring the PSG outcast back to Villa Park.
According to a report by Football Insider, Aston Villa are advancing in talks to sign 29-year-old PSG playmaker Marco Asensio. The Spaniard does not have a future at the French club, and he needs to leave them to play regularly ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Returning to Aston Villa would be ideal for him after the Villans recently began the talks to sign him. The Spanish international was quite impressive for them in the Premier League, and he could be an important player for them in the upcoming campaign as well.
The player is at the peak of his career, and sitting on the bench at PSG would not benefit him. He needs more game time, and joining Aston Villa will be ideal for him. It will be interesting to see if the West Midlands club can negotiate a reasonable deal to sign him.
Asensio is a technically gifted midfielder who has proven himself in La Liga and the Premier League as well. He could be a key player for the club next season. Given his situation at PSG, the Spaniard is likely to be available for a reasonable outlay. He could prove to be a major bargain for Aston Villa.
Asensio needs to play regularly
With the World Cup coming up next year, the 29-year-old will want to cement his place in the Spanish national team. Regular football will be crucial for him. Aston Villa will be able to provide him with that opportunity. Unai Emery has a competitive squad and they will hope to fight for domestic trophies and European qualification.
Asensio will look to hit the ground running in the Premier League when the transfer goes through, and he will look to help Aston Villa succeed next season. Apart from his quality as a footballer, his winning experience from his time at Real Madrid could prove to be an invaluable addition to the Aston Villa dressing room as well.
The West Midlands outfit need players with his quality and experience if they want to build a formidable squad for the future. It will be interesting to see if they can add another striker to the side as well.
