Forwarding News Journalist Fabrizio Romano has signed his trademark “go here” for Jacob Ramsey to move from Aston Villa to Newcastle United.
The 24-year-old is generally a very important part of the Villa’s first team, so some of the club’s fans may be disappointed to see him leave.
Still, Romano reports that Newcastle is planning to pay £40 million to the villa for Ramsey.

“Exclusive: From Jacob Ramsey to Newcastle, go here! A £40 million fee agreement from Aston Villa. Ramsey agrees to personal terms and travels for medical purposes #NUFC Right now. Ramsey had a strong desire for Newcastle and now we’ve got a interaction,” Romano posted.
Jacob Ramsey has decided to move to Newcastle
Newcastle fans are pretty happy to have signed this proven Premier League player at a reasonable low price, and he is certainly someone who can make an immediate impact on Eddie Howe’s side.
Villa fans may also sigh a bit of relief, as this big sale should at least partially alleviate PSR concerns.
Keeping Ramsey might have been ideal, but the sale would probably be better than losing someone like Ollie Watkins or Morgan Rogers, as Villa had recently had to win cash on Douglas Lewis and John Duran.
Can more villa players leave?
AVFC supporters hope that the deal will mark the end of major sales at the club this summer, but John McGinn is also moving away.
Sky Sports recently reported that Everton had a bid rejected by the Villa for McGinn, so it remains to be seen if that will be more specific.
Apart from that, Villa will certainly be desperate to keep key players like Watkins, Rogers, Emiliano Martinez and Pau Torres moving forward.
