Aston Villa starlet Aaron Ramsey’s move to Burnley is facing a delay due to the need for him to agree on a new deal with Villa in case he returns to the club in the future. The midfielder, who is 20 years old, is set to join Vincent Kompany’s club for a fee of £12 million, but the deal includes a complicated buy-back option. This means that Ramsey must sign a contract with Villa now to ensure that he is covered if he does come back to the club.
The unique arrangement is the brainchild of Villa’s transfer guru Monchi and is similar to the deal that saw Burnley sign goalkeeper James Trafford from Manchester City. Aston Villa manager Unai Emery has confirmed that he will keep a close eye on Ramsey’s progress if he does join Burnley for the upcoming 2023-24 season. Emery emphasized the importance of young players and the need to have a plan for their development.
During a recent press conference, Emery stated, “Young players are very important for us. And we have to make a plan for them. In the past, present, and future, we don’t want to stop their career. When we think they won’t have many chances to play and gain confidence and minutes, our plan is to let them go and play for other teams. Sometimes on loan, sometimes through a sale. But we always try to keep the possibility of bringing them back to us in the near future. This is the idea we have with different players. Now, Aaron is very close to leaving, and the idea is to have the option to bring him back if he progresses over the next year or more, proving that he deserves to play and return here.”
Meanwhile, if Burnley fails to secure the signing of Chelsea left-back Ian Maatsen, they will explore options abroad. Maatsen, a 21-year-old Dutch defender, was on loan at Burnley last season, and West Ham is also interested in a temporary deal for the Chelsea star.
