Aston Villa is optimistic in their ability to bring in Pau Torres during this transfer window. According to the report, Unai Emery's team persuaded the 26-year-old La Liga star to sign with them rather than pursue other suitors, but there has been no word on a monetary arrangement.
The pursuit of Pau Torres by Aston Villa has been the subject of rumors for weeks. As they begin a new season, Unai Emery named the 26-year-old La Liga star as a top target before the transfer window opened. The Premier League team will also compete in the Europa Conference League, which would need a stronger roster. They already have Youri Tielemans from Leicester City and are interested in Tyler Adams and Manu Kone as well as another midfielder. Villarreal is still demanding a premium price for the center-back. There have been rumors that Villa is willing to offer about €65 million, but it will be difficult to match the price.
