Aston Villa, which will compete in the next Champions League, announced on Monday the signing of Amadou Onana, the Belgian international midfielder, who is leaving Everton, thus changing clubs in the Premier League.
According to international media, the Villans will pay around 58 million euros, plus a percentage of any future sale, to acquire the 22-year-old defensive midfielder, who has signed a contract valid until 2029. This significant investment reflects Aston Villa's ambition to strengthen their squad as they prepare for the challenges of both the Premier League and the Champions League.
Onana, who has been capped 17 times for Belgium and represented the national team at Euro 2024, bids farewell to Everton after two seasons. His departure marks the end of a notable stint at Goodison Park, where he became a key player in their midfield. In the 2023/24 season, Onana scored three goals and provided one assist in 37 matches, playing a crucial role in helping the club avoid relegation by finishing 15th in the Premier League.
Onana's journey to the Premier League began with his youth development at Hamburg, where he showcased his potential early on. His performances earned him a move to Lille, where he further honed his skills and gained valuable experience in Ligue 1. His time in France paved the way for his transfer to Everton, where he continued to develop and establish himself as a formidable midfielder.
Aston Villa's acquisition of Onana is seen as a strategic move to bolster their midfield options. With his defensive prowess, physicality, and ability to contribute offensively, Onana is expected to play a vital role in Villa's quest for success in both domestic and European competitions. His addition to the squad comes at a time when Villa is looking to build on their recent achievements and compete at the highest level.
Onana's move to Aston Villa is not only a significant step in his career but also a testament to Villa's growing ambition and vision for the future. Fans of the club are eagerly anticipating his contributions on the pitch, hopeful that his presence will elevate the team's performance and help them achieve their goals.
