Aston Villa rule out Joao Felix and Raphinha transfers

Both Joao Felix and Raphinha, who shared a dressing room at Barcelona last season, are on the market. The Portuguese wants to find a way out before returning to pre-season with Atletico Madrid, while the ‘Cules’ are hoping to receive a good figure for the Porto Alegre player to complete their signings.
Aston Villa seemed to be interested in both of them and both could have met again in Birmingham. However, the situation has changed and now Unai Emery's team is not considering carrying out these deals, according to ‘Mundo Deportivo’.
The Villans consider them to be two players who are financially unaffordable due to the high sums being asked for them by both Atletico, in the case of the Portuguese, and FC Barcelona, with the Brazilian. Both clubs are demanding between 60 and 70 million euros for the transfer.
Joao Felix played 44 games last season at the Catalan side, scoring 10 goals and providing six assists. For his part, Raphinha improved the numbers of the ‘Menino de Oro’, as he participated in 37 games, scoring 10 goals and providing another 11.
