CaughtOffside reported Sunday that Aston Villa are close to finalizing the permanent signing of Asensio from PSG, with the Premier League side preparing an offer that could reach €15 million.

Emery has been a strong advocate for a permanent return, viewing the Spaniard as a player who can add creativity, experience, and quality to Aston Villa’s attack.

That push has been made possible by Jacob Ramsey’s £40 million transfer to Newcastle United, which opened up both squad space and funds. The sale effectively cleared the way for Aston Villa to move decisively for Asensio.
