Aston Villa has resumed contacts to try to sign Kevin Viveros, a 26-year-old Colombian forward who belongs to Athletico Paranaense, during the January 2027 transfer market. As reported by RTI Esporte, the English team is considering a proposal close to 20 million euros, although the Brazilian club aims to receive more than 30 million for his transfer. The operation is once again among the possible Aston Villa signings to strengthen their attack.

The team led by Unai Emery had already shown interest in the player during the past summer, but negotiations did not materialize. Now, his performances in the Brazilian championship have led the English club to reconsider his signing.

Sunderland is also monitoring the forward, while Nottingham Forest has recently joined the list of suitors. This competition could complicate Aston Villa's aspirations during the upcoming winter transfer window.

Aston Villa Wants to Sign Kevin Viveros for 20 Million

Aston Villa believes Viveros could be an alternative for their attacking line. The Colombian has established himself as one of the main scorers in the Brazilian championship, attracting interest from several European clubs.

During the 2026 season, the forward has amassed 19 goals and three assists in 27 matches in the Brazilian Serie A, figures that explain why his price has increased in recent months.

The English club's initial intention would be to submit an offer close to 20 million euros. However, Athletico Paranaense deems that amount insufficient and sets their expectations above 30 million.

This difference of approximately 10 million euros represents the main economic obstacle for the operation to progress. Currently, the discussions are in an exploratory phase, and there is no confirmed formal proposal yet.

Aston Villa also needs to consider competition from Sunderland, which has been following the player for months. Nottingham Forest, on the other hand, has recently added his name to the list of potential offensive reinforcements.

Kevin Viveros's Renewal Could Facilitate his Departure from Athletico Paranaense

Another factor that could favor Aston Villa is the forward's contractual situation. Viveros has a contract with Athletico Paranaense until 2028, but discussions to extend his contract have stalled.

According to reports by Globo Esporte, both parties had been progressing towards a renewal before differences arose within the Brazilian club's management.

The player has also recently changed representation, joining the agency CAA Stellar, a move that coincides with the interest from different foreign teams in his signing.

His progression has had consequences on the Colombian national team. Viveros recently made his debut for Colombia in a match against Mexico after receiving his first call-up to the senior squad.

The possibility of moving to the Premier League now emerges as an option to continue his career. His ability to attack spaces, draw in defenders, and finish within the box offers characteristics that could fit in Unai Emery's offensive system.

Aston Villa's next step will be to decide whether to increase their offer to approach the 30 million euros demanded by Athletico Paranaense. The English club aims to resolve this matter before January 2027, when the competition from Sunderland and Nottingham Forest could intensify.
