Aston Villa in Advanced Negotiations for PSG Forward Marco Asensio

Aston Villa are making significant progress in their pursuit of Paris Saint-Germain forward Marco Asensio. The Premier League club is in advanced discussions with the French champions regarding a potential transfer for the 29-year-old Spanish international.

Earlier this month, it was reported that PSG would be open to Asensio’s departure in the January transfer window, provided they receive a satisfactory offer. Aston Villa, looking to strengthen their attacking lineup following Jhon Duran’s expected exit, have identified Asensio as a prime target. This interest was confirmed by Villa’s sporting director Monchi, who publicly stated that manager Unai Emery is keen on the player.

While Asensio is a priority, Villa are also exploring other options. Recent reports have linked the club with moves for João Felix and Marcus Rashford. However, the negotiations for Asensio appear to be the most advanced at this stage.

Sources close to the negotiations report that talks between PSG, Aston Villa, and Asensio’s representatives are progressing positively. All parties are working diligently to reach an agreement before the transfer window closes on Monday, potentially paving the way for Asensio to make a high-profile move to the Premier League.
