The Brazilian arrives at Villa Park for a reported £10.5m deal that consists of an £8.7m fee up front with a further £1.8m in performance-related add-ons. 

Alysson has made 31 league appearances for Gremio in 2025, registering one goal and two assists as it secured a ninth-placed finish in the Brazilian Serie A. 

He also completed 34 dribbles last season, more than any other player for Gremio in the top flight, and he will add a new dynamic to Villa's already flourishing attack. 

Only Chelsea (32), Manchester United (33), Arsenal (37) and Manchester City (43) have scored more goals than the Villans (30) in the Premier League so far this campaign. 

Alysson joins an attack that features the likes of Morgan Rogers, Ollie Watkins, Jadon Sancho, Evann Guessand, and Donyell Malen, who have helped Villa to third in the top flight.

His addition also provides an insight into the future of Harvey Elliott, with the on-loan Liverpool midfielder featuring just four times in the Premier League in 2025-2026.
