João Félix Transfer from Chelsea to Aston Villa
Joao Félix has offers from both Aston Villa and Milan for a loan move from Chelsea. His future will be decided today as per Fabrizio Romano's announcement. Chelsea sees potential in him for the future and is only considering a loan.
Aston Villa were interested in signing Joao Felix last week, but have now pulled out of the race for his signature after agreeing a deal for Manchester United winger Marcus Rashford.
Aston Villa is officially interested in João Félix. Monchi, the sporting director, mentioned that João Félix has been considered in the last three or four transfer windows and is now back in their plans. The interest is renewed due to the potential departure of Jhon Durán to Al Nassr for up to 85 million euros. Emery likes João Félix and has considered him in every transfer window since Monchi joined. However, Monchi admits that signing him is complicated and uncertain.
Team Talk reports that Aston Villa is at the forefront of the pursuit for Joao Felix, amid speculations of his discontent at Chelsea. Aston Villa are 'leading the chase' for Joao Felix, who is reportedly unhappy at Chelsea. Unai Emery, the manager of Aston Villa, wants him, and Felix only wants to join Villa in January. A swap deal involving Jhon Duran is also a possibility, with Chelsea possibly paying Villa a small sum due to Duran's higher valuation.
Team Talk has reported that Aston Villa is actively negotiating with Chelsea about the transfer of Joao Felix. The discussions between Aston Villa and Chelsea regarding Felix are ongoing, and Villa is becoming increasingly optimistic about finalizing a deal before the transfer window closes. It has been noted that Felix is particularly interested in joining Aston Villa to play under the management of Unai Emery, which could significantly influence his decision. While Chelsea prefers a permanent transfer, there is a possibility for Felix to leave on loan.

Aston Villa has made a firm proposal and is in direct contact with Chelsea to secure the loan of João Félix. The club is competing with AC Milan for the player's signature, and Félix's salary of 4.5 million euros per season is a significant factor in the negotiations.
João Félix is under consideration for a potential transfer within the country this winter. Fabrizio Romano reported that Félix is on Aston Villa's radar. The 25-year-old has struggled to secure a regular starting position at Chelsea this season, having played only 363 minutes across twelve Premier League matches. This situation has piqued the interest of several clubs, including Aston Villa. The Villans are weighing their options and might submit an official offer before the transfer window closes. Félix's agent, Jorge Mendes, is communicating with various clubs.
