Latest Fantasy Rumors
Still on Villa's radar
Palhinha remains on Aston Villa's radar, with the club keeping active contact over a potential move despite already agreeing a deal for Joao Gomes, according to Fabrizio Romano.
ANALYSIS
Villa's continued interest suggests they may be planning a broader midfield reshuffle rather than viewing Gomes as their only addition in the position. Palhinha would provide greater defensive control and experience, and he's familiar with the Premier League from his previous stints at Fulham and Tottenham. Any negotiation would have to be approved by Bayern Munich, though.
