Unai Emery addresses João Palhinha amid Benfica interest, focus stays on PSG | OneFootball

Unai Emery said João Palhinha is a widely admired player, while steering focus to Aston Villa’s UEFA Super Cup meeting with PSG.

According to Glorioso 1904, Emery said everyone in football knows Palhinha and suggested many clubs could be interested, adding that Villa would concentrate on tomorrow’s game.

The former Sevilla manager acknowledged the squad could change before the window closes, with possible arrivals and exits, but refused to discuss individual names.

His comments came after sporting director Damian Vidagany publicly confirmed Villa are in talks with Bayern Munich over Palhinha.

Benfica have also registered interest as they look to reinforce Marco Silva’s midfield. For now, Villa and Benfica appear to prefer a loan, while Bayern favour a permanent sale, leaving the 31-year-old holding midfielder’s future open.
