Barcelona 'target' ex-Leeds and Chelsea target Raphinha with Joao Felix deal 'close'

Aston Villa 'eye' loan swoop for want-away Atletico Madrid winger Joao Felix

Raphinha 'open' to Barcelona move as Spanish giants 'line up' summer bid

Barcelona are reportedly targeting a summer move for former Leeds United and Chelsea target Raphinha, with a deal for Atletico Madrid star Joao Felix 'close'.

Unai Emery's Aston Villa are also said to be 'eyeing' a loan swoop for Felix, who is said to be keen on a move to the Premier League.

Raphinha, 26, was heavily linked with a move to Barcelona last summer, but eventually joined La Liga rivals Barca for a fee in the region of £55million.

According to Sport, Barcelona are still keen on signing the Brazilian and could make a move for him in the summer.

The report claims that Raphinha is 'open' to a move to the Camp Nou and that Barcelona are 'lining up' a bid for the winger.

Meanwhile, Fichajes claims that Aston Villa are 'eyeing' a loan move for Felix, who is said to be keen on a move to the Premier League.

The 23-year-old has struggled to make an impact at Atletico Madrid this season, and is said to be 'frustrated' with his lack of playing time.

Felix is a versatile forward who can play anywhere across the front line, and would be a valuable addition to Emery's squad.
