The forward is seen as the perfect addition to the squad as they look to strengthen a key area of the pitch, with unconfirmed reports suggesting that talks are underway. While discussions are reportedly still in their early stages, there is increased optimism that a deal could be reached in the coming days. Aston Villa have laid out their intentions, but valuation and timing remain under debate. Juventus, Bayern Munich and Newcastle are keeping tabs in case talks collapse or progress slows further.
