The 29-year-old Asensio has played 38 times for Spain and helped his country win the Nations League in 2023.

Villa is into the round of 16 in the Champions League and competing for a place in the top four of the Premier League.

The Midlands club has been busy in January, also signing Donyell Malen from Borussia Dortmund for a reported $24 million and Andres Garcia from Levante for around $7 million.
