Why Loaning Out Dendoncker Is a Smart Move for Aston Villa 🧐

Although the loan to Napoli includes a €9 million purchase option, even if Napoli doesn't trigger it, Villa benefits by saving on Dendoncker's €5 million annual salary. Dendoncker had an inconsistent stint at Villa, partly due to injuries and personal circumstances, and struggled to secure a consistent spot in the team.
