Aston Villa are said to be close to reaching an agreement with Paris Saint-Germain for Marco Asensio.
L’Equipe report Villa have made a transfer offer of €15 million for Asensio, who was a big hit at Villa Park on loan from PSG last season, with the Ligue 1 club demanding €20 million.
It is understood both clubs “are optimistic about a positive outcome” ahead of the summer transfer window deadline.
Asensio helped Villa reach the quarter-finals of the Champions League, the semi-finals of the FA Cup and a sixth place finish in the Premier League, after joining them from PSG in February.
He scored eight goals in all competitions for the club.
The Spaniard, formerly of Real Madrid, has had offers from around Europe this summer, including from La Liga and in Turkey where Jose Mourinho was keen to take him to Fenerbahce.
