  • Aston Villa ‘take shock lead in Joao Felix transfer race’ in major blow to Man Utd’s plans to replace Cristiano Ronaldo

Aston Villa ‘take shock lead in Joao Felix transfer race’ in major blow to Man Utd’s plans to replace Cristiano Ronaldo

Published on December 09, 2022 at 10:36 PM

ASTON VILLA have moved into pole position to sign Atletico Madrid ace Joao Felix, according to reports.

The Portugal star has become hot property in recent weeks following his impact at the World Cup.

Joao Felix has been in impressive form at the World Cup

Felix has registered three goal contributions to help Portugal set up a quarter-final meeting with Morocco.

As a result, Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United have been linked with the 23-year-old.

But Marca now believe that Villa have emerged as shock suitors.

And the Spanish outlet claim that Unai Emery‘s side are suddenly in the drive seat to sign the star.

Felix became the fourth-most expensive player in history when he made the £113m move from Benfica.

But he’s failed to justify his price tag, scoring just 24 league goals in three-and-a-half years.

Furthermore, recent reports claim Felix has fallen out with manager Diego Simeone.

That has opened the door for him to leave and Marca believe the club’s owner Gil Marin is already negotiating a deal with Villa.

HOW TO GET FREE BETS ON THE WORLD CUP

Recently-appointed Villa boss Emery will know all about Felix first-hand having come up against him five times as Villarreal manager.

Felix remained unbeaten in those five meetings, but never managed to score against Emery’s team.
