newest Birmingham news about Aston VillaLive as Villans might make an offer for Sporting midfielder Pedro Goncalves when they return.
According to reports, Pedro Goncalves of Sporting Lisbon is still being pursued by Aston Villa.
According to Portuguese publication O Jogo (via Sport Witness), this is the case. The article asserts that even after the transfer window closed on September 1, “approaches” from Premier League teams have continued.
The Lions reportedly rejected a proposal from Villa during the transfer window. Goncalves signed a new contract deal through 2027, but the midfielder’s €80 million (£68 million) release clause is still in place.
However, when the window reopens in January, Villa might not be deterred by that. Villa are still the favorites to pique their interest again in the coming months, according to O Jogo, who also stated that inquiries and contacts are “ongoing”.
However, they are not the only ones, as Tottenham, Liverpool, and Newcastle United of the Premier League also asserted to be “attentive” to the 25-year-old. Sporting does not rule out the idea that after the holiday season, offers from England may come in.
Goncalves expressed pride after extending his stay with the Lions when asked about his future. I’m overjoyed to keep sporting the Lion on my chest.
