Aston Villa are poised to sign Marco Asensio permanently after his loan spell from Paris Saint-Germain, with reports indicating an agreement is close. The Spain international impressed for Unai Emery's side in the Premier League and Champions League and earns around £300,000 per week. A move to Fenerbahce nearly materialised earlier in the summer before collapsing, allowing Villa to renew attempts to secure him. At 29, Asensio has suffered injury setbacks but remains a skilful, creative playmaker capable of multiple roles and influencing top-level matches. His arrival would help replace departed Jacob Ramsey while financial balancing and potential sales remain necessary.
