UEFA Europa League
Aston Villa is determined to strengthen their team and has set their sights on Joao Félix, whom they plan to make the highest-paid player in their squad. The English club's intention is to secure the services of the talented Portuguese forward from Atlético Madrid, who has been seeking a permanent exit after several seasons of loans and speculation about his future.
Félix's situation at Atlético Madrid has been unstable, and the player has expressed his desire for a change of scenery. Although Benfica has shown interest in repatriating the young striker, Félix does not seem interested in returning to Portugal at the moment. Barcelona has also emerged as an option, but they only consider a cost-free loan at the end of the transfer window, a prospect that does not excite Atlético.
The offer that Aston Villa is preparing for Joao Félix
In this context, Aston Villa emerges as a serious contender to sign Félix. According to HITC, the Birmingham club is willing to offer the €50 million that Atlético demands for the transfer of the 24-year-old forward. However, the deal would require Félix to accept a salary reduction. Coach Unai Emery is ready to make Félix the highest-paid player on the squad, with a contract worth around €9-10 million annually, a figure that still represents a significant cut from his current earnings, estimated at €5-6 million per season.
The arrival of Joao Félix would be a significant boost for Aston Villa, which aims to strengthen their team for their first participation in the Champions League in decades. Reports on Villa's interest have been mixed, with some sources suggesting that the club's enthusiasm for Félix has waned, while others indicate that the interest persists and they are biding their time to close the deal.
