NEWS & RUMORS :Transfer Trio Felix, Raphinha, Araujo on the Move

 

Reports say that Aston Villa is ready to make a €60m (£51.3m) offer for Atletico Madrid forward Joao Felix. 

Felix returned to Atletico after taking out a loan to Barcelona last season, scoring 10 goals and setting up 6 others in 44 games.

This player from Portugal has been linked with a return to Barcelona, but the Blaugrana don't want to make a move for the 24-year-old.

According to Caught Offside, Villa is ready to make an offer of €60m (£51.3m) for the Portuguese attacker. Aston Villa is another team that has been said to be interested.

Atletico will ask for a hefty fee, but they might be willing to work with you to eliminate a player who doesn't have a future at the Civitas Metropolitano.

Felix would bring beneficial Champions League experience to Aston Villa, having played in UEFA's top club league 41 times.

NEWCASTLE would 'love' to get Raphinha.

Also, it is said that Newcastle United wants to sign Barcelona defender Raphinha in the last few weeks of the transfer window.

The Magpies want to add a winger to Anthony Gordon, Harvey Barnes, Jacob Murphy, and Eddie Howe's current wide options.

News site Football Insider says Newcastle would "love" to get Raphinha from Barcelona before August 30, the deadline for transfers.

The Catalan giants are thought to be willing to sell Raphinha to get money to help them sign Athletic Bilbao winger Nico Williams.

A story says that Newcastle might be unable to complete the deal because Barcelona wants a lot of money.

Raphinha doesn't want to leave Barcelona either, and he has already turned down offers from the Saudi Pro League.

The Magpies are looking at other players to sign, such as Noni Madueke, a winger for Chelsea.

Araujo is almost ready to move to Bournemouth.

Bournemouth is supposedly about to sign Barcelona right-back Julian Araujo down on the South Coast.

Araujo played in 109 games for the LA Galaxy in Major League Soccer before moving to Barcelona in January 2023.

The Mexican player then played for Las Palmas in the 2023–24 season, appearing in 28 games across all categories.

Araujo is back at Barcelona after his loan but will leave the Blaugrana without ever playing for the first team.

Fabrizio Romano, a writer, says that Bournemouth will sign Araujo after agreeing to a €10 million (£8.4 million) deal with Barcelona.

After all the paperwork is done, Araujo will likely have a test on Monday before being introduced as a Bournemouth player.
