Aston Villa: A £39 million deadline day deal may take Buendia’s spot
The Villains could snap up a superstar on the final day of the summer transfer window ahead.
Clement Lenglet was acquired by Aston Villa as a result of their injury problems, but they still lack a wide forward to take Emi Buendia’s place.
One player who spent half of the Premier League season on loan may be a choice.
They are worth about £39 million.
Unai Emery may yet have one more move up his sleeve as the transfer season nears its conclusion before the new year. Aston Villa have five new recruits confirmed heading into the last day of the summer transfer window.
Since the start of their Premier League season, the Villans have had a lot of major injury problems. Tyrone Mings’ ACL injury led to this week’s purchase of Barcelona defender Clement Lenglet, while Emi Buendia’s injury led to the departure of both.
Key player injuries are the last thing Emery wants right now as he gets his team ready to fight in the Conference League on the European arena, keep up their form in the Premier League, and be competitive in domestic trophy chases over the next weeks and months.
Therefore, during the next few hours, it will be useful to sign a wide forward who can match or surpass the effect and impact Buendia has in the final third.
Who may Buendia be replaced by at Aston Villa?
Since the start of the summer transfer window, the Midlands club has been associated with a wide range of players. However, there is one player in particular who has continuously made noise about a historic move to Villa Park.
Journalist Ryan Taylor of the Daily Express stated last week that Villa will be a team to “keep an eye on” while discussing the long-term plans for Atletico Madrid player Joao Felix.
According to Taylor, GIVEMESPORT
“Watch out for Felix. I realize this is absurd, but I truly believe he will leave Atletico Madrid and be floated to several clubs on loan the later we go in the window.
“For the amount of money that would be paid, I’m not sure whether Aston Villa will pursue Felix, but I believe they would likely make an offer. So be vigilant about it.
Will Joo Felix be signed by Aston Villa?
For Villa supporters, replacing Buendia’s contributions in the attacking line for the upcoming season, and as the transfer window closes, Felix is without a doubt the ideal acquisition.
The La Liga giants’ ongoing financial issues could thwart their efforts to complete a deal in time, something the Midlands club could take full advantage of in the remaining hours of the transfer window. The former Chelsea loanee, who was once hailed a “pure talent” by football talent scout Jacek Kulig, has been linked with a move to Barcelona in recent days.
The Portuguese sensation, who Football Transfers estimates to be worth around £39 million, has long been one of the most in-demand young players in the top five European leagues. According to FBref, he ranks in the top 15% of his positional peers for shots on goal, shot-creating actions, progressive passes, progressive carries, successful take-ons, and tackles per 90 minutes over the past year.
