July 20, 2024

Aston Villa are close to signing Amadou Onana from Everton for a reported £50 million

Why Everton are willing to let Amadou Onana leave

  • Everton were handed the biggest points deduction in Premier League history last November for breaches of profit and sustainability rules
  • There have been rumors that Everton could be at risk of breaching the same rules again, which would mean yet another charge
  • To avoid this, Everton may be willing to cash in on their most valuable player, Onana

Why Aston Villa want Amadou Onana

  • Aston Villa have already lost key midfielder Douglas Luiz to Juventus this summer
  • Unai Emery will be hoping Onana can fill the gap left by Luiz
  • Onana’s engine and strong ability in duels could be perfectly suited to Emery’s transition-based style of play

Additional Information

  • Onana has made 72 appearances for Everton, including 37 last season in all competitions after joining from Lille for £30m in 2022
  • Villa have already brought in two central midfielders this summer with the additions of Enzo Barrenechea from Juventus and Ross Barkley from Luton Town
