Aston Villa launch offer for Gremio winger Alysson Edward | OneFootball

Aston Villa have submitted an official bid of more than €12 million for Gremio sensation Alysson Edward, according to Bola Vip.

Villa scouts have been tracking Alysson since mid-2025, when he produced a standout performance against Cruzeiro.

The 19-year-old winger’s combination of explosive pace, close control, and end product has convinced the Villa recruitment team.

Villa’s opening offer has sparked a serious debate inside the Brazilian club. The bid is now under analysis by the new Gremio president Odorico Roman.

He took the reins with his club under financial pressure, which could play into Villa’s hands. A decision is expected within days.

Gremio hold 80 percent of the player’s rights, making a sale highly attractive as they prepare for a major rebuild.

Signing Alysson spells doom for Harvey Elliott

The Villains signed Harvey Elliott on loan, hoping he would bring creativity and depth, but he has struggled.

Elliott has barely featured this season, sparking rumours he could return to Liverpool.

Just five months ago, Elliott scored five goals and was named player of the tournament as England Under-21s won the European Championship.

However, Alysson’s arrival could force the Villains to move on from the Liverpool man.

Elliott’s short-term future looks bleak, with Villa considering alternatives and Liverpool well-stocked in attacking areas.
