Player aware of Aston Villa interest in signing him – Needs to ‘change his opinion’ to accept move

Aston Villa continue to stand as one of the most solid options that João Félix has for the summer window, according to repeat claims from Spain.

The player’s situation at Atletico Madrid remains quite uncomfortable, as he’s clearly not wanted in the squad this season.

Spanish outlet Marca feature a long story about a meeting between Miguel Angel Gil, Andrea Berta and Diego Simeone, with them all discussing the coming moves in the market.

Regarding Felix, it’s claimed it’s a clearly a problem to have him in the squad, as his presence in training leaves a strange mood in the group.

Marca point out there are no clubs making attractive bids to Atletico so far, so he must stay in the squad for now.

As for Aston Villa, it’s claimed Felix is aware of the club’s interest in him. The problem is that the 23-year-old wouldn’t want to join a side who are not playing in the Champions League next season.

His wish is to join Paris Saint Germain, but since there are no talks for that move, he now appears to be running out of options.

It’s said that for Aston Villa to stand a chance, he needs to ‘change his opinion’, and only time will tell if he will.
