Aston Villa are in active discussions with Chelsea over signing Joao Felix, with the Portuguese forward pushing for a move before the transfer deadline. Chelsea are open to letting Felix leave but have yet to decide whether they will sanction a loan or permanent sale. Villa, meanwhile, are also working on a loan deal for Chelsea defender Axel Disasi, meaning any move for Felix would likely need to be permanent. Felix, who has struggled for regular minutes under Enzo Maresca, has made it clear he wants to play under Unai Emery, believing the Villa boss can help him rediscover his best form. Despite interest from clubs in Spain, France, and Germany, sources close to Felix state that he “only has eyes for Villa” at this stage. Chelsea are working on bringing in a new forward and midfielder, and once those deals progress, the club is expected to finalise Felix’s departure.
