Aston Villa maintain interest in Joao Felix of Atletico Madrid if an affordable package can be reached and the Portuguese convinced to make the switch.
Felix's future remains up in the air after he spent last season on-loan at Barcelona and was keen to secure a permanent move to the Nou Camp.
However, Barcelona's difficult financial situation means they have so far struggled to come up with an acceptable package for Felix and prompting Villa to try and negotiate a deal.
The attacker - who previously spent half a season on-loan at Chelsea - is due to return to Atletico for pre-season training on July 26 after representing Portugal at Euro 2024.
