On July 24, according to Mundo Deportivo, Aston Villa has abandoned their pursuit of La Liga players Felix and Rafinha due to their high asking prices.
It is reported that both Felix and Rafinha have been priced at €70 million by their respective clubs. Aston Villa had shown interest in these two players, but the asking price deterred the club from pursuing them further.
In the 2023-24 season, Felix was loaned to Barcelona, where he played 44 games, contributing 10 goals and 6 assists. His performance did not convince the Blaugrana, and he is set to return to Atlético Madrid after the end of the season. It is understood that Atlético values Felix at €60-70 million and is willing to sell 50% ownership of him, which could pave the way for his return to the Portuguese league.
In the 2023-24 season, Rafinha played 37 games for Barcelona, providing 10 goals and 13 assists. Barcelona is considering selling Rafinha, but as they spent €55 million to acquire him initially, they hope to sell him for €70 million to ensure their interests are protected.
