Aston villa new completion of signing psg star, personal terms agreed and formal step ongoing

Aston Villa are reportedly closing in on a permanent deal to sign Marco Asensio from Paris Saint-Germain, with negotiations progressing rapidly as the transfer deadline approaches. The 29-year-old Spanish midfielder, who spent the second half of the 2024/25 season on loan at Villa, impressed with eight goals and one assist in 21 appearances, prompting manager Unai Emery to push for a long-term deal. According to sources, Villa have tabled a €15 million offer, while PSG are holding out for €20 million. Despite the €5 million gap, both clubs are optimistic about reaching a compromise before the transfer window closes.[](https://onefootball.com/en/news/aston-villa-close-to-signing-marco-asensio-from-psg-41582174)[](https://www.getfootballnewsfrance.com/2025/psgs-marco-asensio-closes-in-on-permanent-aston-villa-transfer/)[](https://psgtalk.com/2025/08/aston-villa-psg-outcast-transfer-finalizing/)

Asensio, a three-time Champions League winner with Real Madrid, struggled for consistent playing time at PSG under Luis Enrique, scoring seven goals in 47 appearances. His loan spell at Villa, where he thrived in the number 10 role, reinvigorated his career, and Emery, a long-time admirer, sees him as a key addition to bolster the squad’s attacking options. The transfer has been facilitated by Villa’s recent financial flexibility, following the £40 million sale of Jacob Ramsey to Newcastle United, which freed up funds and squad space.[](https://psgtalk.com/2025/08/aston-villa-transfer-psg-outcast-asensio/)[](https://www.birminghamworld.uk/sport/football/aston-villa/marco-asensio-agrees-three-year-contract-aston-villa-psg-transfer-5278290)[](https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6301539/2025/07/10/marco-asensio-psg-fenerbahce-transfer-spain-world-cup/)

Reports indicate Asensio has already agreed personal terms with Villa for a three-year contract, signaling his desire to return to the Premier League club where he enjoyed success. While Fenerbahçe previously reached an agreement with PSG, they failed to convince Asensio to accept a reduced salary, paving the way for Villa to re-enter negotiations. With talks ongoing and both sides confident, Villa are hopeful of finalizing the deal swiftly to preempt interest from other Premier League clubs. Asensio’s experience and versatility could prove vital as Villa aim to build on their recent successes under Emery.[](https://www.transferfeed.com/transfers/marco-asensio-paris-saint-germain-aston-villa/9923780)[](https://www.birminghamworld.uk/sport/football/aston-villa/marco-asensio-agrees-three-year-contract-aston-villa-psg-transfer-5278290)
