Why are Aston Villa a selling club?

What happened

Like many, Aston Villa are a selling club, mainly down to necessity, and have been for a number of years. The Premier League's Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR) also limited financial losses to a maximum of £105m over a rolling three-year period. In their latest accounts, ending 30 June 2025, Villa had a post-tax profit of £17m but their two previous years showed losses of £119.6m (2023) and £85.4m (2024).
