Last Tuesday, Record in Portugal stated João Félix’s agent Jorge Mendes is analysing Aston Villa, Benfica and Barcelona as options for his client.
Three days later, we covered claims from Spain that Unai Emery believes the forward is a high quality player and his addition would boost the Villans squad.
Wednesday’s edition of Sport talks about Aston Villa’s interest when providing the latest on the Atlético Madrid player.
The Portugal international wants his future to be sorted out quickly. He’s currently on vacation, and has instructed Mendes to find a new club before he returns to Madrid for the pre-season training in 10 days.
Félix was on loan at Barcelona last season, and they want to bring him back to the club via a new loan deal.
It’s not a given that the Catalan club will get an agreement with Los Rojiblancos, which is why he’s listening to other offers. This suggests the forward’s future is not in his own hands.
Benfica and Aston Villa are the other two options, and the Eagles will have to raise funds to try and sign him.
Félix has interest from the Premier League, where Emery’s side are ‘pressing’ to sign him. The report claims Aston Villa are looking for a loan deal, and the player could consider them or Benfica if a move to Barca were to not materialise.
