Today’s issue of the daily Record makes notice of Aston Villa’s interest in a few players from Lisbon-based teams.
The publication’s front page reports that Benfica and Sporting won’t be offloading any players during the January transfer window because their players are ‘untouchable’ at the moment.
Aston Villa is one of the teams that may experience disappointment in the winter market because numerous players from those clubs have lately been connected to Premier League teams.
The ‘agenda’ of Unai Emery’s team reportedly includes two goals. Pedro Gonçalves of Sporting and Frederik Aursnes of Benfica are those people.
Both of them had already been linked with a move to Aston Villa in the summer window, and it seems the chase now continues.
However, Sporting and Benfica are prepared to decline because they are prioritizing their play and will save all of their sales for the summer transfer window of the next year.
Gonçalves and Aursnes are crucial players for their teams because they have participated in every match played by their clubs in the Portuguese league so far this year. According to Transfermarkt, the Sporting star is worth €32 million, while the midfielder for Benfica is about €20 million.
