The latest Aston Villa and Wolves news comes from a vote of Premier League clubs, with 14 clubs required to agree for the rule to take effect.
According to reports, Aston Villa was one of 12 Premier League clubs to vote in favor of changing Premier League transfer rules, while Wolves voted against it.
On Tuesday, it was proposed to clubs that a ban be imposed to prevent clubs from signing players on loan from related clubs during the January transfer window. As a result, it would have prevented clubs like Newcastle from signing players on loan from the Saudi Pro League when the window reopened.
The vote was held at a Premier League meeting, but the proposal narrowly missed the 14-club threshold required for implementation. The Times reports that Villa was one of the 12 clubs that voted in favor of the rule.
Newcastle United, Sheffield United, Manchester City, Chelsea, Everton, Wolves, Nottingham Forest, and Burnley were among the eight clubs to vote against the proposal, according to the report. Because the majority of the clubs are linked to multi-club ownership models, they will be able to sign players on loan from related clubs in January.
There was also a vote on tougher rules on commercial deals between clubs owned by the same person, but that proposal was thrown out after 13 of the 14 clubs required voted in favor. Only Burnley, one of the clubs that voted against the transfer changes, voted in favor, with Villa voting yes once more.
Villa are part of a multi-club ownership structure, with owners Nassef Sawiris and Wes Edens also owning a stake in Vitoria Sport Clube in Portugal. However, after both clubs qualified for European football this season, the stakes were reduced.
