Aston Villa considers selling Leon Bailey to Al-Nassr to ease PSR pressure, with Saudi club’s significant financial backing making the deal an attractive option for the Premier League side.
Aston Villa could sanction the sale of Leon Bailey this summer as the Premier League side looks to ease pressure from Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR).
The club is among several under scrutiny from the independent financial regulator and may need to sell key assets to stay within the rules and reinvest later in the window. Saudi clubs, backed by the state-controlled Public Investment Fund, have shown interest in Bailey, with Al-Nassr reportedly tracking the Jamaican international.
Previous contact between Villa and Al-Nassr, following Jhon Durán’s transfer, has helped reopen communication lines for a potential deal.
Bailey has reportedly not ruled out the idea of joining Al-Nassr, although his current preference remains staying in the Premier League unless the financial terms become too significant to ignore.
The potential sale of Bailey could help Aston Villa balance their books and comply with PSR, allowing them to reinvest in the squad later in the window.
The move would be a significant one for Aston Villa, who have invested heavily in their squad in recent years. The club’s financial situation will be closely monitored in the coming weeks, with any potential sales or signings likely to be influenced by PSR considerations.
Bailey’s future will be determined by a combination of factors, including the club’s financial situation and his own personal preferences.
