£46.3m talent compared to Cristiano Ronaldo wants to join Aston Villa and replace Emi Buendia

TBR Football understand Joao Felix is keen to leave Chelsea for Aston Villa before the February 3rd transfer deadline.

The Villans look set to be one of the busier sides in the Premier League ahead of the winter transfer window closing.

Aston Villa have agreed terms with Axel Disasi – the Chelsea No.2 who Enzo Maresca wants to offꩲload after opting to 𒆙recall Trevoh Chalobah from Crystal Palace.

TBR Football understand Aston Villa initially wanted Loic Bade – although the Freꦛnchman opted to stay with Sevilla.

Sources have also informed TBR Football that Aston Villa are in talks to sign Juan Foyth from Villarreal in addition to Disasi – Unai Emery has 🦩wanted the Argentina international e𒁃ver since replacing Steven Gerrard.

Now – however – TBR Football understand Aston Villa could sign a new attacker as well as bolstering the defence, with Joao Felix keen on a move to the Midlands.

Joao Felix wants to join Aston Villa

Graeme Bailey – Chief Correspondent at TBR Football – has now been told that the Portugal internationa🌞l is keen on teaming up w💖ith Emery at Villa Park.

We understand Aston Villa strongly believe they can sign Felix ahead of the February 3rd transfer deadline, and view the Chelsea No.14 as the ideal replacement for Emiliano Buendia – who is moving to Bayer Lever🎉kusen.

The Villans are currently in talks with Chelsea about the 25-year-old, and TBR Football understand the deal 🍷has taken a 📖step forward during discussions involving Disasi.

Felix – who only joined Chelsea in♒ a move from Atletico Madrid back in August – has made just three starts in the Premier League under Maresca so far this season.

Felix drew comparisons to Cristiano Ronaldo after bursting onto the scene as a teenager, scoring 15 goals a🐟nd providing nine assists in his first Primeira Liga campaign as Benfica won the title.

This stunning breakthrough 🥀earned the Portuguese forward a record £113m move to Atletico Madrid in July 2019 – although Diego Simeone nor Marescaꦍ have been able to coax the best from him.
