Aston Villa have reportedly entered the competition to sign Internacional defender Vitao, alongside Real Betis, according to Spanish outlet Diario de Sevilla.
The Brazilian, valued at £10.2 million, has garnered significant interest as Unai Emery looks to strengthen his squad for a challenging season that includes Champions League commitments.
With West Ham United already making a £6.8 million bid, Internacional is holding firm on their higher valuation. Vitao, known for his tenacity, is seen as a key addition for clubs seeking defensive reinforcement.
Vitao, who almost signed with Barcelona in 2019, is now eyeing a move to European football.
Aston Villa’s interest underscores their ambition to add depth and quality to their roster for the upcoming season.
