Stan Collymore breaks down how much Aston Villa may have paid Ross McCormack to leave

Scottish striker Ross McCormack has finally left Aston Villa three years into the four-year deal he signed when he first arrived from Fulham.

The club confirmed the release of the 32-year-old, who last played for them in September 2017, via a very short announcement on their website, and both parties agreed to finally part ways after the forward signed a variation agreement.

McCormack was exiled from the first-team following a public bust-up with former manager Steve Bruce in January 2017, and he left the club for loan stints at Nottingham Forest, A-League’s Melbourne City and Central Coast Mariners, and Scottish Premiership’s Motherwell, where he featured in just three league games in 2018-19.
