Aston Villa want to add defensive cover and physicality in midfield, with FussballDaten reporting Joao Palhinha could cost £20 million-£25 million.
- Aston Villa has entered negotiations for Bayern Munich midfielder Joao Palhinha, director of football Damian Vidagany confirmed, with the 31-year-old reportedly open to a move to Villa Park.
