Aston Villa weigh up Asensio return from PSG | OneFootball

Aston Villa are considering a move to bring Marco Asensio back from Paris Saint-Germain, according to The Telegraph.

Manager Unai Emery is eager to reunite with the Spanish forward after his short but successful loan spell at Villa Park.

The club are open to either a permanent deal or another loan, depending on PSG’s terms and the player’s preference.

Asensio’s current deal expires next summer, which could help facilitate a transfer. PSG may agree to a reduced fee to ease their wage bill.

Villa have already signed Evan Guessand from OGC Nice this summer. They are keen to boost their attacking options before the new season.

They will compete in both domestic football and the Europa League, increasing the need for depth in attack.

Asensio’s style of play suits Villa

Asensio joined Villa in January for the second half of the 2024/25 season. He scored eight goals in 21 matches across all competitions during his time in England.

His performances were crucial in helping Villa maintain strong form in the closing months. The 29-year-old can operate across the front line, offering Emery valuable tactical flexibility.

The Spaniard has attracted interest from Fenerbahce and Saudi Pro League clubs this summer. Villa believe their past relationship with the player could give them an advantage in talks.

Asensio is known for his close ball control, accurate passing and powerful shooting ability. He often plays on the right flank, using his left foot to cut inside and create chances or shoot.

His ability to retain possession and link attacks makes him a valuable asset for any team. A return to Villa Park would allow Asensio to build on his impact from last season.
