Aston Villa officially requested information about a possible transfer of Spanish forward Samu from Porto. Porto is not in a hurry to sell the player and has set his release clause at 100 million euros. However, sources from England suggest that Porto might accept an offer of around 70 million euros.

Newcastle and Aston Villa are interested in Samu. Oporto demands 80 million euros for the player. The Portuguese club, which now owns 100% of the player's rights, is firm on their stance, emphasizing that they will not accept anything less than the 80 million euro valuation. The Premier League remains keen on Samu, with Newcastle and Aston Villa leading the race to secure his signature.
