Report: Aston Villa tell agents they are ready to sell star player
Briefly

Aston Villa is considering selling star striker Ollie Watkins due to financial pressure stemming from Premier League Profit and Sustainability Rules, as the club risks breaching loss limits. Despite his strong performance last season, with 17 goals and 14 assists, the urgency for financial compliance has led the club to explore drastic measures, including the possible sale of their women's team. With interest from Arsenal and other top clubs, Villa is open to offers for Watkins but has yet to find a buyer willing to meet their valuation in this urgent situation.
Aston Villa are prepared to part ways with star striker Ollie Watkins within the next three days due to urgent financial compliance issues regarding Premier League regulations.
The club can only register a loss of around 15 million for the year just gone, while current forecasts suggest Villa are on track to breach these financial limits.
Villa's urgent need to comply with financial regulations may leave them with little choice but to sell Watkins if a suitable offer is received soon.
Despite his impressive performances under Unai Emery, including 17 goals and 14 assists last season, Watkins’ departure could be necessary for the club's financial health.
