Transfer rumours: Endrick to Aston Villa, De Jong in Rodri swap?

According to The Guardian's transfer rumours, Aston Villa are looking to spark some excitement after selling key players, and have set their sights on Brazilian teenager Endrick. The Real Madrid forward impressed on loan at Lyon last season and could be open to a similar temporary move to the Premier League.

Meanwhile, Manchester City remain reluctant to sell Rodri, but with his contract entering its final year, money could talk if the midfielder pushes for a move. Barcelona have already seen one bid rejected but are preparing another attempt.

The Spanish club are reportedly considering offering Frenkie de Jong as a makeweight in any deal, which would give City boss Enzo Maresca a new midfielder to work with. As ever with transfer rumours, nothing is set in stone.
