Aston Villa Edge Newcastle, Wolves in Pursuit of €25M-Rated PSG Outcast | OneFootball

With the January transfer window open, Paris Saint-Germain has the chance to move on from players who no longer fit into their plans, and Marco Asensio seems to be one of them.

Since November 30, Asensio’s role has significantly diminished. The former Real Madrid star has lost his place in the starting lineup and has barely made appearances as a substitute.

As a result, the writing is on the wall that manager Luis Enrique doesn’t view the veteran as a marquee piece to his project and rumors have emerged this month of a potential departure as the January transfer window is set to close in a few days.

PSGINSIDE-ACTUS reported Monday that Asensio could depart the capital club before the transfer window closes. Several Premier League clubs, including Aston Villa, Wolverhampton, Newcastle, Crystal Palace, and Chelsea, are reportedly interested in the Spanish international.

Among these suitors, Aston Villa is said to be leading the race for his signature. The report also highlights interest from Bayer Leverkusen, Galatasaray, and clubs in Saudi Arabia, suggesting the competition for Asensio remains open.

Negotiations for a potential permanent move this winter are ongoing, with a transfer fee expected to range between €15 million and €25 million.
