    'Grealish profits run out'

    Aston Villa needed to sell players last summer to comply, having reported a loss of £119m in their accounts up to 31 May 2023. At the time, Villa said the figures were "in line with the strategic business plan" and within PSR, set by the Premier League. In the early summer scramble to be compliant before 30 June, they sold midfielder Douglas Luiz to Juventus for £42m and Moussa Diaby joined Saudi side Al-Ittihad for £50m, while they also allowed Tim Iroegbunam to leave for Everton for £9m and Omari Kellyman to Chelsea for £19m.

    'Homegrown sales risky policy'

    Reporters covering Manchester United have repeatedly been told the club is committed to the Premier League's financial rules. Selling homegrown stars is a way to relieve the problem - which is why the future of Marcus Rashford is key in terms of what transfer business United might be able to do this month. The positive, if there is such a thing, around the huge debt United will probably take on for whatever stadium project they choose, is that it will not count in PSR calculations even though, in reality, it will have a massive impact on their budget because it will need paying back.
