Aston Villa in talks to sign Joao Palhinha from Bayern Munich

Aston Villa are in talks over a move for Bayern Munich midfielder Joao Palhinha.

The Portugal international, 31, became a target for Villa after Amadou Onana suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury to his right knee while playing for Belgium at the World Cup.

Sources close to Palhinha say he has yet to make a decision but is open to a move to Villa Park, which is regarded as among his best options.

Bayern are willing to let him leave two years after signing him for £47.4m from Fulham.

Palhinha was on loan at Tottenham last season but the north London club opted against triggering their £26m option to buy.

It is understood manager Roberto de Zerbi was keen to sign Palhinha because of his role in helping Spurs avoid relegation, but the club were unable to reach an agreement with Bayern.

“Joao Palhinha is a very good player who would fit our plans,” Villa director of football Damian Vidagany told German outlet Bild on Friday.

“We are in talks, but there is currently no agreement. If something were to happen, it would always be based on the great respect we have for Bayern.”

The comments after Villa lost 2-1 to Bayern in a pre-season friendly, in which Palhinha featured as a substitute, in Hong Kong over the weekend.

It has been a busy summer for Unai Emery’s Europa League-winning side, with the high-profile departures of Morgan Rogers to Chelsea, Youri Tielemans to Manchester United and Lucas Digne to Paris St-Germain leaving Villa in need of replacements.

They have also signed Alejandro Garnacho from Chelsea, Joao Gomes from Wolves, Johan Manzambi from Freiburg and Moudou Keba Cisse from LASK Linz.
