Report: Randy Lerner drops Aston Villa asking price to £150m

By , Reporter
Aston Villa owner Randy Lerner reportedly lowers his asking price for the club to £150m in the hope that the new Premier League TV deal will attract interest.

Aston Villa owner Randy Lerner has dropped his asking price for the club in the hope that the new Premier League broadcast deal will attract fresh interest, according to reports.

It has been widely speculated that the 53-year-old - who owned the Cleveland Browns until 2012 - is looking to offload the Villans, having attended few matches in recent months.

The Birmingham Mail claims that Lerner wants £150m for the West Midlands club, with alleged potential buyers including American outfit the Phoenix Group and a Qatari consortium.

It is claimed that the record new £5.136bn TV deal will attract interest, although no takeover deal is said to be close.

Villa currently sit 19th in the Premier League table.
