HERE WE GO! Aston Villa Sign Marco Asensio on Loan from PSG
Aston Villa Secure Marco Asensio on Loan Until June
Aston Villa have officially agreed a deal to sign Marco Asensio from Paris Saint-Germain on a loan transfer until June 2025. The Spanish international is set to travel to England on Sunday to complete his move to the Premier League side.
This move is separate from Villa’s interest in Marcus Rashford and João Félix, but Unai Emery’s side has now landed an exciting attacking option in Asensio.
Why Aston Villa Signed Marco Asensio
Villa’s ambitions have grown under Unai Emery, and adding a versatile, experienced attacker like Asensio strengthens their squad depth. The 28-year-old can play as a winger, attacking midfielder, or even a false nine, bringing creativity, goal-scoring ability, and Champions League experience.
How This Move Helps PSG
Paris Saint-Germain has been looking to free up space in their squad, and Asensio’s departure follows the sale of Cher Ndour to Fiorentina. This move allows PSG to open another loan slot and gives Asensio the opportunity to get more playing time in the highly competitive Premier League.
What Marco Asensio Brings to Aston Villa
Experience – 3x Champions League winner with Real Madrid.
Versatility – Can play across multiple attacking roles.
Big-game mentality – Used to high-pressure situations.
Technical quality – Excellent passing, vision, and finishing ability.
How Will Asensio Fit Into Unai Emery’s System?
Asensio could slot in as an attacking midfielder behind Ollie Watkins or operate on the wings, providing an alternative to players like Leon Bailey and Moussa Diaby. His creativity and ability to strike from distance could be crucial in Villa’s push for a top-four Premier League finish and deep Europa Conference League run.
