Palmeiras rejects Aston Villa €30 million offer for Brazilian winger Allan Elias

Brazilian club Palmeiras turned down a €30 million bid from English Premier League side Aston Villa for 22‑year‑old winger Allan Elias. The proposal consisted of €25 million as a fixed fee and €5 million in performance‑related bonuses. Villa, managed by Unai Emery, is looking to strengthen its attack after the departures of Morgan Rogers to Chelsea and the end of Jadon Sancho’s loan, and sees Elias – who recorded six goals and four assists in 34 league matches – as a key target. The rejection signals Palmeiras’ intention to retain core players as part of its strategic plan through the 2026 cycle, despite financial pressures. The club also noted continued interest from other European teams, including Newcastle United and Zenit St. Petersburg, while monitoring Liverpool’s interest in the player.

Allan Elias remains with Palmeiras, where he is considered a cornerstone of the squad, and his future will depend on whether Aston Villa or another suitor is prepared to meet the Brazilian club’s valuation.
