Aston Villa is evaluating the acquisition of Matheus Cunha, particularly amid the expected departure of Jhon Duran to Al-Nassr. While Villa seeks additional attacking support for Ollie Watkins, Wolves are resistant to parting with Cunha, citing his importance in their relegation battle. Duran, who scored 12 goals this season, is set to join the Saudi Pro League for around 65 million. Villa remains firm on retaining Watkins despite Arsenal's 60 million bid, with manager Unai Emery emphasizing their determination in negotiations and potential interest in acquiring defenders amid injury concerns.
Every player can be in the market in case it is good for the player, for the club and for the team, the Villa manager said after his team had qualified for the Champions League last 16 on Wednesday.
Wolves are adamant they will not countenance selling Cunha given the forward is a key player in their fight to avoid relegation and are hopeful the Brazilian will sign a new contract.
