Aston Villa is lining up a $65 million transfer for Joao Felix from Atletico Madrid. Felix joined Atleti in 2019 from Benfica for €126 million, but he has been loan most of the past two seasons with Chelsea and then Barcelona.
Felix, who is still just 24, had 10 goals and four assists across 46 matches with Barcelona last season with a WhoScored rating of 6.78.
Villa will play in the Champions League this season five years after winning promotion back to the Premier League.
