Kieran Maguire: Grealish development is Aston Villa summer game-changer

Aston Villa will benefit from a change to PSR losses because the £100million profit from Jack Grealish’s sale is set to drop out of their calculations.

That is the view of finance expert Kieran Maguire, who exclusively told Football Insider that a change to the PSR regulations would be “very useful” to Villa next season.

Premier League clubs are set to vote this summer to increase the allowable losses under PSR from £105million to £135million.

Villa are known to be close to the PSR limit after announcing a loss of £119million in their 2022-23 accounts.

Another proposal from Crystal Palace could see PSR allowable losses increase for clubs competing in Europe, which would provide a £30million boost for Aston Villa.

Aston Villa PSR change will help cover £100m problem

Maguire explained that the £100million profit from Grealish’s sale to Manchester City is set to drop out of Villa’s PSR calculations in 2024-25.

“I think a change to PSR would be very useful for Aston Villa,” Maguire told Football Insider’s Sean Fisher.

“The reason why I say that is because the Jack Grealish profit – £100million of pure profit from a former academy player – is set to drop out on the 30th June 2024.

“Therefore, the losses for the last two seasons become more of an issue to deal with.

“Villa have put forward their own alternative to Steve Parrish’s proposal to take the allowable losses from £105million to £135 million.“
