According to David Ornstein of The Athletic, a 22-year-old player who has become integral to Unai Emery’s plans at Aston Villa is attracting considerable interest from other clubs. These clubs, including Bayern Munich, Tottenham Hotspur, and Newcastle United, could potentially offer him better financial terms than Villa.

Reports suggest that Eddie Howe’s Newcastle has already made an initial approach for the midfielder. However, they would need to facilitate an immediate sale to acquire Ramsey due to concerns regarding compliance with the Premier League’s Profitability and Sustainability regulations.

Despite swirling rumors, the Newcastle manager was forthright in denying reported interest in Ramsey, as per Sky Sports.

While Bayern Munich and Tottenham Hotspur have shown interest, concrete approaches have yet to materialize. Villa, as per The Athletic, may need to make significant sales before June to remain compliant with financial regulations, similar to Everton and Nottingham Forest. The club values Ramsey highly, indicating that any potential deal must surpass £50 million ($63.5m).

The Athletic suggests that if Aston Villa opts against selling their star player, they have alternative methods to raise capital and maintain compliance. One such method could involve selling Jhon Duran, who is reportedly linked to Chelsea and is admired by Mauricio Pochettino’s team, with discussions regarding a potential purchase underway.

Despite the keen interest from other clubs, it seems improbable that Ramsey will depart Aston Villa during the January transfer window, especially considering the window’s imminent closure and its relatively subdued activity. Ramsey is expected to feature in Aston Villa’s upcoming match against Newcastle United on Tuesday, January 30th.
