'A deal Villa would have preferred not to have done'
The sale of Jacob Ramsey to Newcastle is a deal Aston Villa and Unai Emery would have preferred not to have done in an ideal world. However, this is not that world but one in which teams must abide by profit and sustainability rules - and finances are tight at Villa Park. A youth product like Ramsey would always be an asset to sell to generate pure profit and £40m will undoubtedly help Villa comply with the rules. It was the same last year when they had to sell Douglas Luiz despite qualifying for the Champions League. It would be churlish to call Villa purely a selling club now, but they are not immune to financial pressures, as has been obvious over the past 18 months, and the failure to reach the Champions League this season will naturally have an effect. Emery was a fan of Ramsey - he would have liked to have kept him - but the manager is living in reality. He knows the landscape Villa must navigate, even if it may seem rocky. Striker Evann Guessand has joined from Nice and there are likely to be more arrivals, perhaps even the return of Marco Asensio after his successful loan last season, but Villa must continue to out-think the bigger spenders.

Aston Villa hit by brutal transfer reality with Unai Emery likely to struggle to reinvest money from Jacob Ramsey sale to Newcastle - with UEFA financial rules hamstringing Villans
are struggling to hand Unai Emery fresh transfer funds this window even if they sell Jacob Ramsey to Newcastle. Ramsey was closing in on a move to St James' Park on Thursday after Villa accepted an offer worth about £40million for their homegrown midfielder. Yet Mail Sport understands that the possible sale is unlikely to boost Villa's position in the market, with the summer window due to close on September 1. In July, Villa were fined £9.5m for breaching UEFA's financial rules. From 2025, clubs involved in European competition will be allowed to spend only 70 per cent of their revenues on player-related costs, such as salaries. In UEFA's latest analysis, Villa were found to have a 'squad cost ratio' of between 80 and 90 per cent. More to follow.
