Overview
- Media reports Monday quoted former Villa scout Mick Brown saying a “huge” bid could push Aston Villa to approve a summer sale of midfielder Amadou Onana.
- Brown pointed to Profit and Sustainability Rules, which restrict spending and can force clubs to sell players before buying new ones.
- Onana, 24, has said he aims to join a “world-class club” after becoming a regular under Unai Emery this season.
- Manchester United have tracked him since February and Barcelona are also cited as suitors, with no formal bids or talks announced.
- He joined from Everton for about £50 million in 2024 and is contracted to Villa until 2029, giving the club leverage to demand a premium.
