Aston Villa owner Nassef Sawiris is considering legal action against the Premier League for its ‘anti-competitive’ spending rules.
The club will be in the Champions League next season but in order to comply with the top flight’s profitability and sustainability regulations, they will have to sell players this month, with key midfielder Douglas Luiz in talks with Juventus.
Villa are in advanced talks over a deal worth £16.9million cash, which would include unwanted Juve players Weston McKennie and Samuel Iling moving to Villa Park.
But Sawiris is unhappy with the system, which allows clubs to lose no more than £105m over a three-year period.
