FINALLY: Player already “packed suitcase” as it is confirmed by reliable source that Villa Park is already the Home ground of 22yr Old brilliant Winger.
Recent reports suggest that discussions regarding Joao Felix’s potential move to Aston Villa have stalled. While the transfer isn’t entirely off the table, significant progress has yet to be made.
Conflicting information has emerged from different sources. Portuguese media claim Villa is only interested in a loan deal, while Spanish outlets report that the Premier League club finds Atletico Madrid’s asking price excessive.
Mundo Deportivo’s latest update maintains that Aston Villa remains the most probable destination for Felix. Notably, Atletico Madrid is reportedly seeking a permanent transfer, ruling out loan options for now.
Benfica, Felix’s former club, is also in the mix. They’re reportedly hoping other potential deals fall through, allowing them to secure Felix at a bargain price if Atletico becomes desperate near the transfer window’s close.
Currently, it appears that Aston Villa’s interest is being emphasized, possibly more than the actual situation warrants. Given Felix’s underwhelming performance at Chelsea and the substantial financial commitments involved – both in terms of salary and potential transfer fee – it’s understandable that Villa might prefer an initial loan arrangement.
