Aston Villa at Risk of Losing PSG Ace as Inter Milan Launch Serious Transfer Move | OneFootball

NonMarco Asensio has looked like his old self again since joining Aston Villa on loan from Paris Saint-Germain during the winter transfer window.

The Spanish winger has tallied eight goals and one assist in 18 appearances across all competitions, playing a key role for Unai Emery’s squad. His impact has naturally raised the question of whether Aston Villa plan to keep him beyond this season.

As the summer transfer window nears, the Premier League side plan to make Asensio’s stay permanent. The Premier League club are likely aiming to build on his impressive start in Birmingham.

Estadio Deportivo recently reported that both clubs are making good progress in talks over a permanent move this summer, with the fee said to be around €15 million. But if Aston Villa decide not to go through with the deal for Asensio, another club is ready to step in.

Fichajes reports that Inter Milan have set its sights on the former Real Madrid player. Moreover, the report claims that the Serie A side consider him the ideal candidate Simone Inzaghi is looking for to bolster their attacking midfield.

Inter Milan’s interest presents an intriguing option for the Spanish international. The Italian club could offer him stability and a key role. Furthermore, it’s a club that regularly challenges for trophies in Italy and consistently features in the Champions League.

If Aston Villa and Inter Milan are willing to meet PSG’s reported asking price, Asensio will have to decide. The lure of Champions League football could tip the scales.

Nonetheless, Aston Villa currently sit seventh in the Premier League, just three points behind fifth-place Chelsea. As a result, these final three games could determine whether Asensio stays or leaves.
