Aston Villa Confirm £10.5m Signing of Grêmio Winger Alysson

The 19-year-old arrives after a breakthrough season at Grêmio, with Villa yet to outline his immediate role.

Overview

  • Villa announced the move as the window opened on January 1 after agreeing terms in December.
  • Reporting places the fee at £8.7m up front plus £1.8m in add-ons, with Grêmio retaining a 10% sell-on clause.
  • Alysson debuted for Grêmio in July 2024 and logged 34 league appearances last season.
  • The left-footed winger primarily operates on the right flank, cutting inside onto his stronger foot.
  • His arrival adds depth to an attack featuring Morgan Rogers, Ollie Watkins, Jadon Sancho, Evann Guessand and Donyell Malen, with some reports calling it one of Grêmio’s higher-value sales.
