Aston Villa midfielder Jacob Ramsey could be sold at the end of the season.
A report from Football Insider claims that the homegrown midfielder could be sold in order to balance the books in the summer. Apparently, Aston Villa are worried about breaching the profit and sustainability regulations and the West Midlands club will look to raise funds in the summer. They have recently announced a £119.6 million loss at the end-of-year accounts.
Ramsey is highly rated in England and he has a big future ahead of him. The 22-year-old could develop into a key Premier League midfielder and it remains to be seen when he ends up.
The 22-year-old midfielder is capable of operating as a central midfielder, an attacking midfielder as well as a winger. He will add goals and creativity to the side and his versatility will be an added bonus. There is unlikely to be any shortage of clubs looking to sign the player. Aston Villa have recently sold other homegrown prospects like Cameron Archer and Jaden Philogene as well.
Aston Villa could sell Jacob Ramsey to raise funds
It will be interesting to see if Aston Villa can raise a substantial amount of money for Ramsey at the end of the season.
The 22-year-old has all the tools to develop into a fine player and the West Midlands club could end up regretting their decision to let him leave.
Meanwhile, Aston Villa are currently pushing for Champions League qualification and they are fourth in the league table. If they manage to secure a top four finish, it would be a huge boost for their revenues and it might help them hold on to their key players.
Jack Grealish was forced to watch England’s international friendly with Brazil from afar, having been frozen out of Gareth Southgate’s squad due to a lack of playing time for Manchester City.
Reports this week indicate that City boss Pep Guardiola could move Grealish on in the summer, unhappy with the lack of development that the winger has made at the club
Although it’s unclear which clubs might move for the 28-year-old, a switch back to Aston Villa could be an ideal solution for a player the Birmingham club transferred for €117.5 million little over two years ago.

The prospect is a compelling one for a team that could compete in the Champions League next season and would offer Grealish the type of game time that he has missed.
It is a move that the Birmingham-born winger is open to.
“It’s a club that is so close to my heart and I definitely hope to go back there,” he told the Telegraph in 2023.
“That’s always been in my mind. Ashley Young has done it and I want to do the same, 100 per cent.”

Logic behind Grealish Villa transfer
While there will inevitably be a financial aspect of the deal that represents a major hurdle – Grealish is reportedly on around €350,000 (£300,000) per week at Man City – there is sound logic behind the move.
According to data analytics experts SciSports, Villa are among the leading five clubs most suited to the winger. And this is without taking his affiliation with the team into account
