Arrived from Marseille in January 2021, Morgan Sanson (28) goes through a complicated priory at Aston Villa. The French midfielder, who has not contested a single minute this season, is not part of Steven Gerrard’s plans.
The former Marseillais had obviously already understood this summer that he would not benefit from a significant playing time this season, he who has only played 20 matches (including 6 as a starter) in the Villans jersey. This is why he wanted to take advantage of the summer transfer window to join another club in order to revive himself. With an identified destination: Espanyol Barcelona.
According to L’Equipe, the operation almost happened. The two available clubs even found an agreement at the end of the transfer window for a loan from the former French international hopefuls. Problems, the documents to finalize the operation were sent with… 15 minutes late. A real disappointment for the player who must now wait until January to have a new opportunity to leave.
