Unai Emery Eyes €20M-Rated PSG Outcast as Part of January Aston Villa Signings | OneFootball

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

Since November 30, Asensio’s role at the club has diminished significantly. The former Real Madrid star lost his starting position and has barely featured as a substitute. His only appearance since then was on December 6, when he played just 11 minutes against AJ Auxerre.

In 2024, Asensio has been on the bench for three of PSG’s last four Ligue 1 matches and was left out of the squad entirely for the Coupe de France Round of 64 tie against RC Lens.

He was also an unused substitute in the Trophée des Champions against AS Monaco. These signs point to an uncertain future for Asensio at PSG, with a departure now seeming more likely.

Fichajes reported on Thursday that Unai Emery wants Asensio to be one of the three signings that the Premier League club make before the January transfer window closes.

A recent report from Le Parisien’s Marc Mechenoua reveals that Aston Villa, along with other potential suitors, is interested in Marco Asensio. While PSG hasn’t made any clear indication of his departure, the Spanish forward is reportedly looking for more playing time.

Since joining PSG in 2023, the 28-year-old has made 46 appearances across all competitions, scoring seven goals and providing 11 assists. Transfermarkt currently values him at €20 million.
