Marco Asensio’s future has been thrown into uncertainty after Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) manager Luis Enrique’s latest comments, raising doubts about a potential transfer amid reported interest from Aston Villa. The Spanish forward has been linked with a move away from PSG due to limited game time, with Unai Emery’s Villa among the clubs monitoring his situation.
Asensio, who joined PSG from Real Madrid on a free transfer last summer, has struggled to secure a regular starting spot under Enrique. Recent reports suggested that Aston Villa was considering a move to bolster their attacking options ahead of next season. However, Enrique’s remarks about the player’s importance to his squad have now created uncertainty over whether PSG would be willing to let him leave.
Speaking in a press conference, Enrique acknowledged Asensio’s talent and versatility, hinting that he remains in his plans despite inconsistent playing time. This statement contradicts earlier speculation that PSG might be open to offloading him. If Enrique sees Asensio as a key squad member, Villa’s hopes of securing his signature could be complicated.
Villa, who are pushing for Champions League qualification, are eager to strengthen their squad with high-profile additions. Asensio, with his experience in La Liga and Ligue 1, would be a valuable asset. However, with PSG seemingly reluctant to part ways with him, Aston Villa may have to explore other options.
With the summer transfer window approaching, Asensio’s future remains uncertain. Whether PSG will reconsider their stance or if Villa will push for a move remains to be seen, but Enrique’s comments have certainly cast fresh doubt on the Spaniard’s potential departure.
