The Amadou Onana saga is about to deliver its verdict. Author of a rather convincing Euro 2024 despite the weaknesses displayed by Belgium and considered an undisputed pillar in the Everton midfield, the 22-year-old midfielder should discover a new challenge in the coming hours. According to the latest information from The Athleticwhich we can confirm, Aston Villa are, in fact, close to concluding an agreement with the Toffees to enlist the Dakar native. A real coup for the Birmingham-based club given the fierce fight in this matter.
Targeted by Manchester United, Arsenal, Newcastle, Bayern Munich and FC Barcelona, the former LOSC player was also in PSG’s sights. Recently, we revealed to you that the profile of the Belgian international (17 caps) particularly appealed to the Parisian upper echelons. Yes, but the interested party ultimately decided otherwise. This Saturday, the British media outlet indicated that the 1m95 right-hander had found common ground with Aston Villa and is therefore preparing to join the last 4th in the Premier League as part of a long-term contract.
Onana heads to Aston Villa
Convinced by the Villans’ sporting and financial project, the midfielder trained at Hoffenheim will also have the opportunity to play in the next Champions League, under the orders of a certain Unai Emery, who had made the player his summer priority. Author of 3 goals and 1 assist in 37 matches in all competitions last season, Onana is also attracted by the idea of playing alongside the former Paris Saint-Germain coach. For its part, Aston Villa is in the process of finalizing an agreement with Everton.
According to the latest information provided by The Athleticthe transaction should be completed for around 50 million pounds sterling, or nearly 60 million euros. Let us specify, in this regard, that LOSC, which had sold its nugget for 35 M€, will recover 20% of the profit made on this sale. As a reminder, since the start of this summer transfer window, Aston Villa has already brought in two midfielders with Enzo Barrenechea from Juventus and Ross Barkley, who arrived from Luton Town.
