Looking for reinforcement in midfield after the serious injury of Amadou Onana, unavailable for the entire season, Aston Villa has set its sights on João Palhinha. Damian Vidagany, sporting director of the English club, confirmed the interest in the defensive midfielder of Bayern Munich as well as the existence of talks between the two teams to make the transfer a reality.
“ We need a midfielder, as Amadou Onana is injured and will miss the whole season. João Palhinha is an excellent player and fits our plans. We are in discussions, but for the moment, no agreement has yet been reached », Confided the Spanish leader to the German press. If negotiations continue behind the scenes, the financial demands of the Bavarians remain for the moment the main obstacle to finalizing the file.
