MORE INTO DEPTH

Alex Disasi🇫🇷, 26, 1,81m, (rf), CB (rb), Chelsea
Its reported from Romano/Hawkins + others,
that Disasi have accepted and offer on personal terms. And its also been claimed Villa is his preferred and only 
option. Clubs are talking. Also claimed there are different options on how to structure a potential deal.

João Félix🇵🇹, 25, 1,81m, (rf), SS/AM, Chelsea
Villa are also talking with Chelsea about a deal for Felix. Emery want him, after allowing Buendia to go on loan to Leverkusen. Romano is also saying on his YT show tonight sources close to Felix are saying Filix want the deal. Want to work with Emery.
Loan or perm. Depending on Disasi. Its only possible to have 1 loan deal from same team.

Juan Foyth🇦🇷, 27, 1,87m, (rf), RB (cb), Villareal
There have been a lot of talk about Foyth being the player Villa want to replace Carlos. Emery even mentioned his name in his press conference as a player he trusts and love to work with. Would be a safe add, because he knows Emery Ball and how his staff work.
But Sky reported tonight that the deal had gone cold. Maybe because Disasi is closer or prefered?
More to come on this one.

Kevin Danso🇦🇹, 26, 1,90m, (rf), CB, Lens
It was reported today from France, Danso is a player Villa like and follow. Links started this summer. 
How I see it, a backup to other situations.
A player further down the list at CB.

*Donyell Malen🇳🇱, 25, (rf), 1,76m, RW/LW/F, Dortmund
2nd bid is in £15M (+add ons) . 1st bid of £13,3M was rejected. Dortmund want £16,6M garanteed.
Ornstein, Romano, Pettigoal is all on this.
Villa's apparently no 1 forward target. Malen wants the move. Clubs are close. This have a very good chance of happening.
New reports from the Netherlands and Germany, clain Malen have agreed terms. Clubs are not far from each other. Dortmund want between £20,7M and £24,9M. There is optimism deal WILL go through.
Jan 10th - New bis £21M - Getting closer.
Signs for Villa Jan 14th 

*Andrés García🇪🇸, 21, 1,85m, (rf), RB, Levante
Andrés is a player Villa have followed for a good while. A player Emery know and like a lot. And because of him developing very fast the last year, Villa decided to make a deal in a hurry. Before the noses of Sporting.
Signs for Villa Jan 22th

*Yasin Özcan, 18, (lf), 1,85m, CB/lb, Kasimpasa
It was reported Christmas Eve, from all the biggest news outlets in Turkey, that Villa have agreed a £6,6M fee for this huge talent from Turkey. He's already been a regular for 2 seasons in the top league.
According to the report, he will come to Villa early next week to complete the deal.
Lets see where this goes!
Yasin traveled to UK to sign for Villa tuesday.
Watched Villa vs Everton 15th in a Villa cap.
Not officially a Villa player. Yet.

Sverre Nypan🇳🇴, 18, 1,82, (both), CM/AM, Rosenborg
Sverre is this weekend touring England and visiting several clubs, including Villa. Its been said he visited Villa saturday morning, before travling to Manchester.

Loïc Badé🇫🇷, 24, 1,91m, (rf), CB, Sevilla
It was reported Jan 14th from several reliable sources Villa have started talks regarding Badé signing for Villa.

Villa reportedly agreed a fee, but Badé wanted to stay.
Deal off!!

Óscar Mingueza🇪🇸, 25, (rf), 1,84m, RB (cb, lb, rm), Celta
Villa have started talks with Celta and players reps regarding a posible deal. There is a £16,6M (€20M) clause in his contract that Villa most likely have to meet.Mingueza have excelled his development after coming over from Barca in 2022. He had his first cap for Spain back in 2021, while playing for Barca. But was back in the spanish squad now in November, starting vs Switzerland.
Imo, Mingueza have all the right tools to become the perfect RB for Villa.
Latest. Villa intend to meet the £16,6M clause. Monchi prob meet with player reps last night or today, after watching him live yesterday.

Tidiam Gomis🇫🇷, 18 (rf), 1,83m, LW (rw,cf), Caen
According to reports in France and Tanswell/Townley, report Villa are close to complete a deal for the young mega talented french winger.
Was reported Villa offered €4M.
Was reported clubs agreed a deal, player wanted Villa, but agents wanted more and more and more.
Villa ended up dropping out of negotiations.
Player will now going to Leipzig.

Wesley, 21, (rf), 1,78m, RB, Flamengo
(Wesley Vinícius França Lima)
According to several sources, including 
@Lemos_Santos, Villa have had a bid rejected for £12.4M (€15M). Other clubs like Atalanta is also said to be interested. From what I have read, he's an all offense young pacy RB. 

António Silva, 21, (rf), 1,87m, CB, Benfica
According to reports in Portugal, Villa have entered the race to sign Silva. Loan to buy. Benfica want £33M for the perm deal clause in the summer.
Silva was wanted by all the big clubs 2 years ago. But now he is struggling to get starting time at Benfica.
“DAZN” Portugal claim he is close to joining Villa.
Would be a fantastic signing. Got it all. But unlikely. Juve also interested. 
Benfica have expressed he is not for sale in January.

Taisei Miyashiro,24,(rf),1,78m, CF/lw/rw, Vissel Kobe
There are reports today, there are negotiations between the clubs for this very good versitile forward from our own Vissel Kobe.

Nicolas Kühn, 25, (lf), 1.74m, RW, Celtic
Jamie Brown, TBR, claim Villa are monitoring this austrian winger. Celtic are also trying to give him a new contract.

Regarding Villas winter window
I have always had a feeling there are all kinds of possibilities to add talent to the ist team squad.
Its all about creativity, level of importance, timing, availibility.
Its all ablout balancing it all before June 30th 2025.
This could go in all kinds of directions.
✔️We have 2 loan spots
✔️Loan vets who can contribute right away
✔️Loans to buy (Price high, but cant afford until July)
✔️Buy now (Like Malen😉) Sell before July 1st, if needed
✔️Like to mention. Malen on a 100k pw 5 year contract. Fee £17M would cost just over £4,2M on the 2024-25 accounts.A £10M sale could cver that++😉
✔️ Rogers type out of the blue for low price
