In terms of what the club needs to do to circumvent PSR, Aston Villa will likely need to double down on younger squad additions. Certainly it is helpful to bring in senior, veteran players. A way to overcome the financial restrictions is to buy players in their teens or early 20s.
Villa have their eyes set on Farès Chaïbi, according to Tuttomercatoweb.com. Signing with Eintracht Frankfurt and being a part of the Bundesliga club since 2023, he is someone who offers a lot of promise. It is far from anything official at the moment, but it is worth thinking about how he would potentially fit in the Unai Emery side.
Currently valued around £8 million, Chaïbi is only 22 years old. This is the exact type of transfer that Villa needs to explore and look into.
The Algerian's passing is already at a high level, and he seems to find a way to complete passes that few would even dare attempt. Then add his willingness to be creative and try different things in the final third, and Chaïbi is the exact type of youngster that any side would want a chance to mold and build around.
To bring young talent into the club that is showing a tremendous amount of potential and is hungry to prove his worth is what every team dreams of.
Important aspect potentially in the way for Aston Villa
The report suggests that a deal would be worth closer to the range of €40 million. Despite his large upside, to see someone's eventual selling price take that much of an uptick is not too likely. In any event, there does appear to be a lot of interest from Villa, and for good reason.
Quadrupling his approximate value would be too much of a barrier to get a deal done in all likelihood. If AVFC can secure Chaïbi for a more reasonable number, it could be one of the great value acquisitions of the summer.
