Aston Villa didn't want to swap players with Tottenham

The need for profit to cover financial fair-play problems is not very conducive to player exchanges between Premier League clubs, an example of which is the deal between Aston Villa and Tottenham.

Thus, Spurs were interested in midfielder Jacob Ramsey, and were ready to offer £20 million for him, as well as their own player Giovanni Lo Celso, but according to The Times, this deal did not satisfy Unai Emery's team.

And it correlates with claims that the Birmingham club were interested in signing the Argentine midfielder. For Ramsey, Aston Villa want to get in the region of 40-50 million pounds, and only in pure money.

But, Aston Villa will not be left without profit in the summer, as the "villians" come to the final straight in the deal for midfielder Douglas Luiz, who seeks a move to Juventus.
