Aston Villa transfer news live Joao Felix, Jhon Duran, Karim Adeyemi interest

Aston Villa have been linked with several transfer targets as they step up their preparations for a historic season. They have already brought in several players this summer, including Ross Barkley and Amadou Onana, and Monchi and Unai Emery will continue to work together as they aim to build a quality squad that can once again meet the demands of competition across four competitions.

According to SkyBet, they have become favorites to sign Jack Grealish – who left Villa for Manchester City in 2021. Despite winning the Premier League, UEFA Champions League, FA Cup and League Cup during his tenure, his form dipped last season, as he suffered multiple injuries that saw him miss out on Gareth Southgate’s UEFA Euro 2024 squad.

Villa are featured as 2/1 favourites, but that doesn’t mean Grealish is likely to return to Villa Park anytime soon. He was pictured training alone while the tour was underway in an attempt to find his fitness and form, leading to another crucial year at Manchester City or elsewhere if he chooses to leave.

Another player set for a move is Atletico Madrid forward Joao Felix – Premier League fans will be familiar with his exploits at Chelsea two seasons ago. He failed to impress at Stamford Bridge and was loaned out again – to Barcelona – last season, where he scored seven goals in La Liga. However, Villa now appear keen on the player, but the move will be heavily influenced by the fee the club could demand for Moussa Diaby’s transfer to Saudi Pro League side Al Ittihad. Villa are 6/4 favorites with his former club Benfica at 4/1 to land the player’s signature.
