In the winter transfer window of 2024, Aston Villa is not expected to sign Felipe Anderson, a winger for Lazio. Transfer specialist
Fabrizio Romano exclusively updates GIVEMESPORT from Villa Park.
With the Villans still in the running for the Premier League crown and having advanced to the next stages of the FA Cup and Europa
Conference League, Unai Emery expects to get support in the upcoming weeks of the market.
Villa wants to carry over their strong performance from the first half of the 2023–24 season into the latter parts of the competition,
but they will believe they need to add more players to their roster. Fans of the Premier League would already be familiar with
Anderson because the winger played for West Ham United for three seasons between 2018 and
Anderson could be planning a future move to the Premier League.
After a dismal stint at the London Stadium, Anderson left West Ham United to rejoin Lazio in July 2021. Since then, he has rebuilt his
career in Europe. The 30-year-old has made a name for himself in Maurizio Sarri’s starting lineup and was a key member of the squad
that became Serie A runners-up to Napoli in 2022–2023.
The forward-thinking winger has made 36 appearances so far in the 2023–24 season, recording one goal and seven assists. The capital
giants are now lying seventh in Serie A, three points behind Fiorentina, who are currently holding the last Champions League
qualifying slot. Lazio, nevertheless, are in a tricky situation over Anderson’s future at the
Aston Villa is among the Premier League teams interested in Anderson, who is said to make about £47,000 a week. The Villans and
Fulham have been called the “toughest competition” in the race to seal a deal that would allow the former Brazil international to
return to England, according to Calciomercato.
The same source claims that while Juventus, the dominant team in Serie A, has made more than “one direct contact,” Lazio is still
attempting to extend Anderson’s contract. But since Anderson is getting close to thirty and may believe that his career is coming to an
end soon, he could be enticed to return to England.
