Douglas Luiz, who transferred from Aston Villa to Juventus for €50 million, might make a return to Aston Villa in January. Italian media reports indicate that Luiz could be loaned back to Aston Villa due to limited playing time at Juventus and tactical uncertainties expressed by coach Thiago Motta. The sale of Luiz was a strategic move by Aston Villa to adhere to the Premier League's profit and sustainability regulations.

Douglas Luiz completed a 'couples transfer' to Juventus in the summer of 2024. However, there is speculation about another potential move back to Aston Villa, just four months after his transfer to Turin.
