Aston Villa pick up talks for Bayern Munich midfielder originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
Just a few days away from the start of the Premier League campaign, Aston Villa are still searching the transfer market to help bolster their squad, after two of their bigger-name players departed earlier in the Summer. One of their key forwards, Morgan Rogers, left Villa Park for a move to Stamford Bridge, with that deal being worth £117 million.
The second departure would be that of Youri Tielemans, who made his way to Manchester United for a fee that left some people scratching their heads: £35 million, but it's worth noting that the fee was accepted in compliance with a release clause in the Belgian's contract. Tielemans leaving the West Midlands club has left Unai Emery with a bit of a hole in his midfield depth, but it appears that they've started to look towards Germany once again for Bayern Munich's Joao Palhinha.
As reported by The Athletic's Jacob Tanswell, Aston Villa have opted to resume negotiations with the German champions over the Portuguese midfielder, as they ideally are looking for a loan with an option to buy at the end of the term.
"Aston Villa have resumed talks to sign Joao Palhinha from Bayern Munich. Villa still believe they can finalise an agreement for the midfielder, despite interest from Newcastle United, seeking a season-long loan with an option," writes Tanswell.
