continues to attract interest in the market, and Aston Villa have once again hinted at the possibility of making a move for the Portugal international. This time, it wasUnai Emery who was asked about the Bayern Munich midfielder, but the Spanish coach preferred not to fully reveal the English club’s intentions.
"We all know Palhinha in the football world. He is a player who must have many clubs interested. Let’s focus on tomorrow’s game, the reason is important enough," he said ahead of the UEFA Super Cup clash against PSG.
The former Sevilla manager also acknowledged that the Villans squad could undergo changes before the end of the transfer window, admitting that new players could arrive, but also that some could leave. Even so, the Spanish coach refused to fuel speculation around specific names. "I’m not going to say any more about players who may be leaving or coming in", he said.
The comments come after Aston Villa sporting director Damian Vidagany publicly confirmed that the English club remain in talks with Bayern Munich with a view to signing Palhinha.
