Villa Ready to Pay £250,000 for Brazil Forward Nunes
Aston Villa has expressed interest in Gabi Nunes, a 27-year-old forward from Levante and a Brazil international. They have initiated a recruitment effort to acquire him. The club must activate Nunes' release clause of 300,000 euros, approximately £250,000, to secure his signature.
Nunes boasts 22 caps for Brazil and was part of the team that earned a silver medal at the Olympic Games in Paris. His potential addition could signify Aston Villa's ambition to compete with established teams in the Women's Super League (WSL).
This season, Villa has already made seven signings, demonstrating significant investment. The arrival of new manager Robert de Pauw has fueled this spending spree. By signing Nunes, Villa would send a clear message about their goals in the WSL.
Should Nunes join, it would set a new club record fee, ranking among the highest transfer amounts in WSL history. Currently, Chelsea’s acquisition of Mayra Ramirez for £384,000 holds the British record. Additionally, Jill Roord's move to Manchester City for over £300,000 last year highlights the growing market in women's football.
