Marco Asensio’s future at Aston Villa is uncertain following the club’s failure to qualify for the Champions League. Securing a spot in Europe’s elite competition would have given Villa greater financial flexibility in transfers and wages.
Yet even with qualification, Villa would still face the challenge of cutting their wage bill significantly. The club aims to reduce player costs by nearly 20 percent over this summer and next year to comply with UEFA’s Squad Cost Rules.

00:00Marco Sancho's future at Aston Villa is uncertain following the club's failure to qualify for the Champions League.
00:09Securing a spot in Europe's elite competition would have given Villa greater financial flexibility in transfers and wages.
00:17Yet even with qualification, Villa would still face the challenge of cutting their wage bill significantly.
00:23The club aims to reduce player cost by nearly 20% over this summer and next year to comply with UEFA's squad cost rules.
00:32Although Villa met the Premier League's profit and sustainability rules by selling their women's team,
00:39UEFA does not permit income from related parties or sister companies to count towards financial fair play.
00:46Villa plan to sell 10% stake in their women's team to a US investor, followed by the remaining share to Vsports, potentially raising around £50 million.
00:57Additionally, the warehouse training facility is to be sold for around £50 million, according to reports.
01:03Despite these efforts, Villa face the difficult task of trimming their wage bill ahead of their Europa League campaign,
01:10complicating decisions such as whether to keep a Sancho.
01:13The club reportedly aims to reduce wages by about 10% with a similar target next year.
01:21Meanwhile, Turkish club Fenerbahce has made a £13 million offer to PSG for Ascensio, who is on loan at Villa.
01:28Ascensio, who impressed early with his eight goals in eight games, has seen his form dip as of recent.
01:34With the Spaniard turning 30 in January and Villa needing to balance the squad depth and wage constraints,
01:39the club must carefully weigh whether committing to his high wages is wise.
01:45And if he does, I just, I don't see him, after creating such a connection with the fan base and with the club as well,
01:52I don't see him leaving.
01:53But obviously, I could be proven wrong with that.
01:55But at the moment, Emery seems very happy and any talk of him going elsewhere is rubbed out immediately by the club.
02:00Manager Unai Emre has praised the Sancho's adaptability and creativity,
02:06but also may consider a younger, less-costing alternative as the transfer window progresses and pressures start to mount.
02:13Is that the standard?
02:15So what I look at is the standard?
02:22But the new and my way in society and is
02:22that I could also say a half months ago until the spring had isatured one.
02:25Here are the new ones, and if I look at them all,
02:27the new ones are now inquiged and the new ones are all in my life.
02:28And in the邊 are all in my lifetime,
02:30there are an absurd words that I can confirm once in my life.
02:33And finally, I'll look at the wrong andücke people atteades.
02:35So, I'll keep the same, probably because I look forward to you and make it more fans in the meantime.
02:39I have known the name and I will down llegathe it for my case.
02:40It's so hard to play with the components and the good the abbreviations that I can 5x have been its final collapse
