Barça are in pole position for signing Aston Villa midfielder Chukwuemeka
Aston Villa have already put a price on their young pearl and opened the doors to his transfer
FC Barcelona have their eyes on Aston Villa's young midfielder Carney Chukwuemeka. As Fabrizio Romano said at the beginning of the week, the club from Spain have shown a serious interest in him, now that the English team have put forth a price for him in the transfer market, and currently Barça are leading in the race to sign him.
It's the last year of his contract with the English club, and with no intention of extending his contract with the villains, they have set his price at 20 million pounds, according to the information of the transfer expert. He will turn 19 in October and so far has played 16 games with the first team and has left a very good impression on his skills.
Barça and Aston Villa maintain good relations after the loan and subsequent sale of Coutinho, so negotiations could come to fruition if Barça want to go ahead. Although the Spanish club has other interests, such as Koundé, according to Romano they are ahead of other big teams in Europe and could take advantage of their situation. According to SER's Què T'hi Jugues, Mateu Alemany and Jordi Cruyff already met with his representative in May, so there is a good possibility of negotiations being initiated soon for the signing of the young player.
