Aston Villa chase £135m deal as new talks revealed – sources
Multiple Premier League clubs have joined Aston Villa in their push to increase the allowable losses under Profit and Sustainability Rules, sources have told Football Insider.
Under current regulations, top-flight clubs are allowed to lose a maximum of £105million over a rolling three-year period.
However, Villa have urged the Premier League in new talks to increase that limit to £135million for the final year of PSR in 2024-25.
It is understood that multiple Premier League clubs have shown their support for the regulation change heading into next season with many senior figures deeming the current rules to be outdated.
The regulation changes are expected to be a key topic discussed in the Premier League’s annual general meeting at the end of the season.
Aston Villa push for £135m deal now supported by Premier League rivals
Villa are known to be close to their PSR limit after revealing staggering losses of £119million in the 2022-23 season.
The club will have to offload players to balance their books before the end of the current financial period on June 30.
As revealed by Football Insider, Aston Villa have also been forced to downsize their summer transfer budget so they can comply with Uefa’s financial regulations.
Profit and Sustainability Rules are set to be scrapped in the 2025-26 season with the Premier League moving to a squad-cost ratio system similar to the one used by Uefa.
It will cap spending to 85 percent of a club’s overall revenue, while an anchoring cap will also be introduced to limit spending to a multiple of the lowest earnings in the division.
