Wolves are determined to keep Matheus Cunha amid interest from Arsenal, offering him a new contract as they battle relegation. Aston Villa are seeking replacements for departing striker Leon Bailey, with Mathys Tel and Tyler Dibling on their radar.
Matheus Cunha , attempting to evade two Arsenal players, has been presented with a new Wolves contract offer. Wolves , who face Villa on Saturday, are resolute in their stance against selling Cunha . They view him as crucial to their battle against relegation and anticipate the Brazilian will accept the new deal. Villa are also exploring other options, including a direct replacement for Durán , but have no intention of selling Watkins, who has been the subject of a £60 million bid from Arsenal .
Villa have expressed interest in Mathys Tel, although Tottenham are considered the favorites to sign the 19-year-old Bayern Munich forward. Durán, who has netted 12 goals in 29 appearances this season, is on the verge of joining a Saudi Pro League club for an initial fee of approximately £65 million. Durán has scored several vital goals this campaign, including the winner against Bayern Munich in October. Villa swiftly rejected Arsenal's initial approach for Watkins, but Unai Emery has stopped short of guaranteeing the striker's stay until Monday's deadline. 'Every player can be in the market if it's good for the player, for the club, and for the team,' the Villa manager stated after his team's Wednesday match. 'But to get this deal, of course, we are going to be very demanding. And Watkins is our striker.'Emery is a strong admirer of João Félix, but the feasibility of securing his signing remains unclear. The Portuguese player joined Chelsea from Atlético Madrid for around £42 million. Villa, who will face Sporting, Club Brugge, Borussia Dortmund, or Atalanta in the last 16, are more optimistic about completing a deal for Chelsea defender Axel Disasi after a move for Sevilla's Loïc Badé fell through due to personal terms. Villa, who have also investigated a move for Villarreal defender Juan Foyth, are short in the center-back position following injuries to Tyrone Mings and Pau Torres. The club is among those monitoring Tyler Dibling's progress, but there's a sense the Southampton teenager might be more likely to join a Bundesliga club at the end of the season. Tottenham and Newcastle have been actively pursuing the 18-year-old, but RB Leipzig, Bayern Munich, and Borussia Dortmund also hold interest in the forward, who is currently sidelined with an ankle injury. Emery expressed disappointment over losing a player with Durán's potential. 'I was so, so close with him, trying to work with him and his development, but the players have their own objectives, ambitions, sometimes they are impatient, and if he is leaving, it is because he prefers to do another way in his career. We are different people, different persons, with different objectives. We have to respect it.
