Aston Villa Are Expected To Make A £26 Million Transfer Once The January Transfer Window Opens.

Once the January transfer market opens, Aston Villa are expected to make a move for Real Madrid midfielder Dani Ceballos. Ceballos was reportedly of interest to Villa during Unai Emery’s first summer window in charge of the Lions, during which time they brought in Moussa Diaby, Pau Torres, Youri Tielemans, Clement Lenglet, and Nicolo Zaniolo, the latter pair to cover for injured Emi Buendia and Tyrone Mings.

Villa, juggling Premier League fixtures with a Europa Conference League campaign in which they’re aiming to progress deeply into, could top up their squad again in the winter window – and reports emerging from Spain suggest that Ceballos remains on Emery’s wish-list. Having missed out on Marco Asensio, who joined PSG, Emery was tipped to move for his Los Blancos teammate.
Villa, who are combining Premier League fixtures with a Europa Conference League campaign in which they hope to advance far, could bolster their team again in the winter window – and rumors from Spain suggest that Ceballos is still on Emery’s wishlist. After missing out on Marco Asensio, who joined PSG, Emery was rumored to be interested in his Los Blancos teammate.If Ceballos, a former Arsenal loanee, becomes available for a move in January, Fichajes reports that Villa would be keen to bring him back to England for 30 million Euros (£26 million). Ceballos joined Real Betis from Real Madrid for £15 million in 2017 and subsequently enjoyed two loan periods at the Emirates Stadium back to back – between 2019 and 2021, he made 77 appearances in all competitions and scored two goals.
