Overview

  • Multiple outlets in England and Spain report the club’s president of football operations is set to depart just over two years after his June 2023 appointment.
  • Coverage links the decision to tight Premier League PSR and UEFA squad‑cost rules, with roughly £285m in player sales since summer 2024 to stay compliant.
  • Reporting highlights a wages‑to‑revenue ratio cited at 91% and a £9.5m fine in July, underscoring the financial squeeze on recruitment.
  • Aston Villa are winless with one goal from five league matches and sit 18th in the table, with an early League Cup exit also noted.
  • Monchi is regarded as a close ally of Unai Emery, and talkSPORT cites sources saying he sought greater backing to secure permanent deals for Marcus Rashford and Marco Asensio, with Asensio later moving to Fenerbahce.
