Aston Villa Pursues Donyell Malen Transfer

Aston Villa is making moves in the January transfer window, reportedly seeking to strengthen both their defense and attack. They have inquired about a loan deal for PSG's Milan Skriniar to bolster their defensive options, while also finalizing a deal for Borussia Dortmund winger Donyell Malen, valued at around £20 million. Villa is preparing to fund these acquisitions through the imminent sale of winger Jaden Philogene to Ipswich Town for approximately £21 million plus add-ons. Philogene's brief tenure at Villa saw limited playing time, prompting the club's decision to cash in on him. Unai Emery has expressed a belief in Philogene's potential, but the player's lack of impact has led to this transfer. Alongside these changes, Diego Carlos may also leave Villa, with Fenerbahce reportedly interested in signing him.
