Villa may find this a difficult deal to get done, however, with Atletico Madrid likely to ask for huge money to sell the former Chelsea and Barcelona loanee, with Villa planning an offer worth around 60m to test their resolve, CaughtOffside understands.
Joao Felix to Aston Villa? Still, that is currently understood to be their plan, with the feeling being that Atletico may need to be flexible with their demands if they are realistically going to sell and finally get this unwanted player off their books.
While Felix is one of Villa's priorities, it seems the Midlands outfit also have one eye on Tottenham's Giovani Lo Celso as a possible addition to come in as a squad player, sources have informed CaughtOffside.
If Villa could land Felix as a starter and Lo Celso as squad depth, that could be truly superb business by the club as they look to build on last season's success of finishing in the top four.
