Aston Villa are on the verge of completing a double raid on their Premier League rivals Chelsea, with moves for both João Félix and Axel Disasi gathering pace.
Fabrizio have confirmed that Villa made contact with Chelsea yesterday regarding the availability of the Portuguese forward and the French defender.
Further talks are scheduled to take place today as Villa intensify their efforts to secure the signatures of both players.
Disasi, who joined Chelsea from AS Monaco this summer, is believed to be keen on a move to Villa Park.
The talented centre-back is reportedly impressed by Unai Emery’s project and the ambition shown by the club.
However, the situation surrounding João Félix is more complex.
The on-loan Atletico Madrid star has impressed during his brief spell at Stamford Bridge, but his future remains uncertain.
Chelsea are yet to decide whether to pursue a permanent deal for the highly-rated forward.
Villa’s pursuit of Félix will likely depend on Chelsea’s decision. If the Blues decide to sell, Villa are ready to pounce and offer the Portuguese star a lucrative contract.
Emery is a huge admirer of Félix’s talent and believes he could be a game-changer for his side. The potential arrival of both Félix and Disasi would significantly strengthen Villa’s squad.
Disasi would provide much-needed competition and depth to the defence, while Félix would add creativity and flair to the attack. Villa fans will be eagerly awaiting developments in the coming days.
A successful double swoop for Félix and Disasi would send a clear statement of intent from the club and further enhance their ambitions for the upcoming season.
