According to CaughtOffside, Aston Villa and manager Unai Emery in particular are still working to finalize an agreement with Joao Felix, the Spaniard’s “dream target,” before the summer transfer window closes on August 30.
Emery and his team are forced to take a risk and be proactive in order to enhance their roster, which they have done so far, because of the added bonus of playing in the Champions League.
Among Villa Park’s intriguing summer arrivals are Amadou Onana, Ian Maatsen, and Jaden Philogene. However, with a few weeks remaining in the summer transfer window, it is clear that they are eager to recruit another attacker.
In a meeting with Unai Emery, the Portugal international expressed his desire to rejoin the Premier League, where he would give Ollie Watkins competition in the Villa attack.
Felix, who was formerly a bright talent at Benfica, moved to La Liga in 2019 to play for Atletico Madrid for an incredible £111 million.
During his season-long loan at Barcelona, the talented player who was born in 1999 scored ten goals and contributed six assists during his 44 games. Despite his positive comeback, the article implies that Hansi Flick has no intention of relocating permanently.
Felix, who was at Stamford Bridge for six months in January and June of 2023, has already discussed a potential summer transfer with Emery and has stated his desire to rejoin the Premier League.
TEAMtalk claims that the Atletico Madrid player has approved the Midlands team’s move. Actually, according to the report, the player’s agents have told prospective purchasers that “he’s already packing his bags” in preparation for a move.
