Damian Vidagany’s name appears in the report, linking him to the information on the transfer pursuit. His involvement suggests insider insight into Villa’s recruitment strategy.

The pursuit of Palhinha comes as Villa prepares for the upcoming season without Onana’s services. Securing a Bayern Munich midfielder could bolster their midfield depth ahead of the campaign.
