As per David Ornstein, The Athletic journalist, Aston Villa have agreed to the deal for the seventh reinforcement in this transfer window, and it is a real transfer bomb – Amadou Onana! He arrives in Birmingham from Everton as a replacement for Douglas Luiz, who recently joined Juventus. According to the same source, the deal is very near realization given that Villa’s boss, Unai Emery, easily convinced the player of his plan, whereas Everton couldn’t afford to turn down the offer of as many as 60 million euros.🚨🇧🇪 𝐁𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐆 | Aston Villa finalising the signing of Amadou Onana (22) from Everton! 🔜Deal is worth in the region of £50m, reports @David_Ornstein. 🔵🟣 pic.twitter.com/ks5ubdFjdo— EuroFoot (@eurofootcom) July 13, 2024 Regarding the fee, this will be Aston Villa’s biggest-ever transfer. Onana had a good season with the Toffees and several excellent performances at the EURO 2024. Despite Belgium’s poor result, the midfielder managed to rise above it and impress. He was also Bayern Munich’s alternative in case the Bavarians hadn’t come to an understanding with Fulham regarding Joao Palhinha’s transfer.A bolt from the blue for Man City: Alvarez wants to leave!So far, the club from Villa Park spent 100 million euros in this transfer window, bringing in six reinforcements before Onana: Ian Maatsen (from Chelsea, paid 44.5 million), Cameron Archer (Sheffield Utd, 16.6 million), Samuel Iling-Junior and Enzo Barrenechea (Juventus, 22 million combined), Lewis Dobbin (Everton, 12 million), and Ross Barkley (Luton, 6 million). The club has so far earned mostly from Luiz’s transfer to Juve (51 million euros), but certain indications suggest that Villa could receive another vast sum if Moussa Diaby decides to move to Saudi Arabia.##NAJAVA_MECA_8209970##
