Aston Villa risk starting EPL campaign with points deductions

If Aston Villa takes legal action against the Premier League,

they may seek “anti-competition” damages, according to Football Insider sources.

Villa is on the verge of breaking Profit and Sustainability Rules after reporting £119 million in deficits in their 2022-23 reports.

Under PSR, top-tier teams can lose up to £105 million over three years.

Villa proposed raising the loss limit to £135 million for 2024-25,

but their motion was rejected at the most recent Premier League meeting earlier this month.

According to The Times, Villa owner Nassef Sawiris is exploring legal action against the Premier League’s financial rules,

claiming they “are not good for football.”

Aston Villa could want a PSR compensation from the Premier League.

It follows Manchester City’s legal appeal to the Premier League’s linked party transaction rules,

which is scheduled to finish after a two-week hearing.

According to Football Insider, if Villa pursues legal action, they will seek a cash settlement from the Premier League for “anti-competition” damages.

Villa will have to sell several first-team players this summer in order to comply with financial restrictions.

According to Football Insider, Aston Villa will now consider offers for defender Diego Carlos this summer.

If Villa are found to be in violation of PSR in 2023-24, they will lose points for the upcoming league season.
