Leon Bailey targeted by Al-Nassr as Aston Villa seek to ease PSR pressure | OneFootball

According to a report from Sacha Tavolieri for Sky Sports Switzerland, Aston Villa could sanction the sale of Leon Bailey this summer, with interest emerging from Saudi Arabia.The Premier League side are among several clubs under scrutiny from the independant financial regulator and may need to sell key assets in order to stay within Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR) and reinvest later in the window.

Saudi clubs with backing from the state-controlled Public Investment Fund, are said to be tracking Bailey, and Tavolieri reports that previous contact between Villa and Al-Nassr (following Jhon Durán’s transfer) have helped reopen communication lines for a potential deal.

The Jamaican international has reportedly not ruled out the idea, though his current preference remains staying in the Premier League unless the financial terms become too significant to ignore.GFFN | George Boxall
