Ramsey has completed a £44m transfer from to Newcastle after coming through the youth system and making 176 appearances for the Midlands side. The 24-year-old midfielder was sold as part of the Villans’ push to comply with PSR, with the deal representing pure profit due to his academy status. Ramsey’s departure marks one of the most high-profile sales in recent years for Villa. However, both Mings and McGinn are unhappy with the state of football.

Tyrone Mings urged supporters not to criticise Ramsey, writing on Instagram: “Don’t wanna hear any bad words or anything negative on his name. You don’t know the half (of it). Till the bitter end lil bro. Go smash it.”

Captain John McGinn also paid tribute, adding: “Always humble, respectful and willing to learn. It’s been a privilege to share the dressing room with you and enjoy some special moments together on the pitch. A sad day losing a top player and person and one of our own, but it seems to be the way football is set up these days.”

Aston Villa’s sale of Ramsey highlights the increasing impact of financial regulations on clubs. The midfielder was an important part of Unai Emery’s squad but was moved on as Villa balance their books following UEFA fines for overspending. With his departure, the Villans must now adapt without one of their most talented academy graduates.

Ramsey will look to establish himself in Eddie Howe’s Newcastle midfield as the Magpies push for yet again. Meanwhile, Villa will continue to focus on squad stability and financial compliance as the transfer window progresses. Supporters will be watching closely to see how Emery reshapes his side after the loss of a key player.
