Aston Villa secure loan deal for Marco Asensio from PSG

Aston Villa have officially announced the loan signing of Marco Asensio from Ligue 1 champions Paris Saint-Germain.

The former Real Madrid star joins Villa until the end of the 2024/25 season.

“Aston Villa is delighted to announce the loan signing of three-time Champions League winner Marco Asensio from Paris Saint-Germain,” the club confirmed on their website.

The 38-cap Spanish international has enjoyed a decorated career, winning multiple European and domestic titles in Spain and France. Known for his versatility, Asensio excels both on the wing and as an attacking midfielder.

On the international stage, he played a key role in Spain’s 2023 UEFA Nations League triumph.

Prior to his departure from PSG, Asensio recorded two goals and four assists in 12 Ligue 1 appearances this season.

Villa welcomed Asensio as their latest addition following Marcus Rashford’s loan move from Manchester United.
