Unconfirmed reports suggest that negotiations over the transfer of Gabriel are ongoing, with Aston Villa pushing to land the midfielder from Galatasaray to strengthen their squad. Discussions are said to be constructive, with the structure of the deal - including add-ons and bonuses - now under consideration, although there is currently no confirmation of an agreed fee for the player. The player is aware of the interest and would reportedly be open to the move, should personal terms be agreed. Manchester City may look to intervene if talks continue without resolution. With 0.67 goals scored per game this season, Aston Villa could use more imagination between the lines. Gabriel would be expected to connect play and boost chance creation in advanced areas. Reports suggest Aston Villa are monitoring Rodrigo Muniz Carvalho, Samuel Omorodion and Lois Openda whereas Galatasaray have not been associated with other players at this stage.
