He is a player who has been constantly improving since leaving LOSC two years ago and he confirmed this at the Euro. In a rather lackluster Belgium team, Amadou Onana was an exception, being one of the few satisfactions of his team in the competition. Performances that ultimately confirmed what he had shown throughout the season at Everton. With the Toffees, the young 22-year-old midfielder had a full year with 37 matches for 3 goals and 1 assist. Enough to catch the eye of several European teams.

In this sense, we also revealed to you that PSG had sounded out the player while several Premier League clubs had checked his name. And with Everton in serious financial difficulty and needing to sell, we expected an imminent outcome in this case. Finally, PSG did not go any further for the Belgian midfielder and it was Aston Villa who took advantage of it. Unai Emery’s club, which will play in the Champions League next season, quickly reached an agreement with the player and Everton.

Onana convinced by the Villans project

This Monday, the transfer was finally made official. “Aston Villa are delighted to announce the signing of Amadou Onana from Everton. A deep-lying midfielder with a knack for breaking up play and winning back possession, Onana joins Villa having recently represented Belgium at UEFA Euro 2024.” can be read in the club’s press release.

Tracked by Manchester United, Arsenal, Newcastle and PSG, Amadou Onana has therefore decided to join the Villans who will have broken their piggy bank in this case. Convinced by the sporting and financial project, the midfielder trained at Hoffenheim will bring 60 million euros to Everton. A substantial sum that will allow the club to breathe a little. For Aston Villa, this recruitment has something to delight Unai Emery in a season that is going to be long for the English club.
