Marco Asensio to stay! Unai Emery pushes Aston Villa to sign ex-Real Madrid star for bargain €15m fee from PSG amid Spain international's stunning form on loan at Premier League side

<p>Asensio fell out of favour under Luis Enrique in the French capital, resulting in him being loaned to the Premier League side in January. The three-time Champions League winner has flourished under Emery by scoring eight goals in just 10 matches, notably netting both goals as they beat Chelsea 2-1 in February before scoring one and setting up another as they beat Brighton 3-0 on Wednesday.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Asensio's loan deal does not include an option for Villa to sign him, but <a href="https://www.estadiodeportivo.com/futbol/premier-league/marco-asensio-confirmado-20250402-489006.html" target="_blank"><em>Estadio Deportivo</em></a> reports that Emery has told sporting director Monchi to do everything he can to sign him. The 29-year-old former Real Madrid star reportedly has a €15 million (£13m/$17m) release clause, which would not be a major stumbling block for the Premier League side.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Asensio may be out for revenge next week as Villa come up against PSG in the Champions League quarter-finals. He already has three goals in the competition for his new team and will hope to stun Luis Enrique when he returns to the French capital for the first leg.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Before he goes back to France with his new side, Asensio will hope to fire Villa to a seventh straight victory when they take on a Nottingham Forest team currently sitting third in the Premier League.</p>
