Aston Villa's Bold Double Chelsea Move: Joao Felix and Axel Disasi Targeted Despite Premier League Rules
Aston Villa are making waves in the transfer market as they aim for an ambitious double swoop for Chelsea players Joao Felix and Axel Disasi. This comes after Villa secured a massive £64 million deal with Al-Nassr for the sale of Jhon Duran, freeing up funds for the club's ongoing ambitions. However, Premier League regulations present a potential obstacle in their pursuit, as they can only sign one player on loan from Chelsea, meaning Villa must make tough decisions on how to structure the deals for these two high-profile players.
Felix, who’s been a bit of an underperformer at Stamford Bridge, has caught the eye of Villa, as well as other clubs like AC Milan. The Portuguese forward has found it hard to secure a starting spot under Chelsea’s new management and is looking for a fresh start. Villa are eager to bring him in, but with Chelsea's stance being firm on a permanent transfer or a loan with an obligation to buy, Villa could face a steep challenge to meet that demand. Despite his potential, Felix hasn't had the best run at Chelsea, starting only a handful of matches this season and getting overshadowed by other attacking players. His frustration has grown, making this the perfect window for Villa to push forward with their interest.

Meanwhile, Villa have also set their sights on Chelsea's defensive ace, Axel Disasi. After reports surfaced that Villa were blocked in their attempt to sign him earlier, with Tottenham getting involved, Villa are not backing down. Disasi is seen as a strong addition to Villa’s defensive line, and Unai Emery is keen to secure a deal. However, with the rules preventing them from signing both Felix and Disasi on loan from the same club, Villa will have to either buy one of them permanently or adjust their approach.
To complicate matters, Aston Villa have already lined up two loan moves for Marcus Rashford from Manchester United and Marco Asensio from Paris Saint-Germain. These moves show how serious Villa are about strengthening their squad. But the challenge remains: will they be able to afford Felix on a permanent deal or find a way to navigate Premier League loan restrictions?
According to finance expert Stefan Borson, Villa’s recent sale of Duran should provide the necessary breathing room in their financial setup, making these deals more feasible. The sale of Duran has alleviated the club’s Profit and Sustainability (PSR) concerns, allowing Villa more flexibility to explore these deals further. However, it's clear that Aston Villa has a tight window to act, and their success could depend on their ability to secure Felix or Disasi on terms that fit both the club's and Premier League’s constraints.
This could be a defining moment in Villa's transfer window as they continue their quest for more strength and depth in their squad, with the hope of making a big impact in the Premier League. With both Felix and Disasi on their radar, Aston Villa’s pursuit of Chelsea’s stars is a story that promises plenty of twists as the window comes to a close.
