Marco Asensio has agreed a three-year contract to return to Aston Villa following a successful six-month loan. He joined Unai Emery's side for the second half of the 2024/25 campaign and performed well during that period. Asensio had interest from Inter Milan and Fenerbahce but appears to have chosen Villa. The re-signing provides a permanent boost to Emery's squad amid recent market frustrations caused by outgoing transfers. Villa sold players including Douglas Luiz, Jhon Duran, and Jacob Ramsey, who joined Newcastle United. Asensio is viewed as an ideal replacement for Ramsey while fans hope for further signings before the September 1 deadline. Villa missed a top-four finish last season and started the new campaign with a draw against Newcastle.

Villa have endured a great deal of frustration in the market in recent times, having had to keep on selling before they can spend. We've seen big names like Douglas Luiz and Jhon Duran leaving AVFC in recent times, while Jacob Ramsey has also just left to join Newcastle United. Asensio should be an ideal replacement for Ramsey, but fans will no doubt be frustrated and hope that more signings can also be possible before the September 1st deadline.
