DONE DEAL:Aston Villa has signed Atletico Madrid world cup star …..

The 23-year-old, who spent the second half of the season on loan at Chelsea, is being linked with a move to Villa Park, but Taylor says the numbers involved are too high.

Aston Villa transfer news — João Félix
Football Insider recently claimed that Félix has been offered to Villa and several other Premier League clubs.

The Portuguese attacker looks to be available after Chelsea made the decision not to sign him permanently.

“Yesterday, we had the news that the new Chelsea manager [Mauricio Pochettino] does not [want] João Félix,” Atletico president Enrique Cerezo told AS last month.

The Spanish club look unwilling to sell Félix on the cheap, though, with the Evening Standard reporting back in February that he could cost up to £80m.

What has Ryan Taylor said about João Félix and Aston Villa?
Taylor thinks Félix is an unrealistic target for Villa this summer.

Speaking to GIVE ME SPORT, the Daily Express journalist said: “The difficulty for Villa if they did want to sign Félix is that there’d be massive numbers involved, so I don’t see that as a realistic signing.”

How did João Félix perform in the Premier League this season?
Félix showed glimpses of his quality. In total, he scored four goals in 16 appearances for Chelsea, as per Transfer markt.

Even on his debut where he was sent off, the Portugal international managed to display some attacking threat.

According to Who Scored, Félix had four shots on target in his side’s 2-1 defeat to Fulham at Craven Cottage — no one in the game had more. He also completed two dribbles, more than any other player on the pitch, before picking up his red card.

However, the above is surely not enough for Villa to go spend £80m on the former Benfica man, especially when they’re targeting other high-profile players who are also likely to cost a lot of money.

Last month, The Telegraph reported that the Villans were plotting ambitious moves for Juventus’ Dušan Vlahović and Barcelona’s Ferran Torres.

Since then, Football Insider has also claimed that the Midlands club are trying to sign Villarreal defender Pau Torres.

With that in mind, then, it’s hard to imagine Villa going out and forking £80m on Félix, who didn’t justify that price tag during his loan spell at Chelsea. Is he a bad player? Far from it, but he hasn’t exactly looked like an £80m footballer this season.

Aston Villa Are Leading The Race For This Gifted Winger: What Will He Add To Emery’s Team?

In a recent print edition, O Jogo stated that Aston Villa are leading the race for Sporting winger Pedro Goncalves this summer. It has been revealed that the Villans are in pole position to land the Portuguese wide player in this off-season.

Goncalves’ Impressive Form In Portuguese Football
Goncalves has experienced a brilliant campaign at Sporting as he has produced a handful of eye-catching performances on the left side of their attack. The Portuguese talent has found the back of the net on 20 occasions and secured 15 assists in 51 appearances for his current employers this season across various competitions.

The Chaves-born sensation has been a reliable performer at the Estádio José Alvalade as he is averaging 3.2 shots, 2.2 key passes, 1.1 crosses and 1.3 dribbles per 90 minutes in Liga Portugal. He has even been tidy when interchanging possession with his teammates as evidenced by his pass success rate of 81.3% in the Portuguese first division (stats via whoscored).

Goncalves’ current contract at Sporting will expire in the summer of 2026. Thus, Aston Villa will have to launch a convincing offer for him if they want to convince Sporting to sell their prized asset.

What Will Goncalves Add To Aston Villa Boss Unai Emery’s Team?
Goncalves is proficient at engineering space for himself to get some strikes in on-target. He has also got the eye to unlock the opponent’s defence with a killer pass in the final third. Goncalves mainly functions as a winger on the left flank but can also fill in as a right-sided wide player or play in the number ten position if told to do so.

The Portuguese wing wizard is a good dribbler with the ball as well which makes him a decent fit for Unai Emery’s brand of football at Villa Park.

We can expect Goncalves to inject more quality into Aston Villa‘s first XI and help the Villans push for a top-half finish in the Premier League next season.

Goncalves will add more goals and creativity to Emery’s defence. At 24, he has his peak years ahead of him. Hence, the Sporting wide player will be a great choice for the West Midlands club to consider during this summer transfer window.
