Douglas Luiz Transfer from Juventus to Aston Villa
Douglas Luiz is also attracting interest from his former club, Aston Villa, as well as Nottingham Forest and Newcastle. He is open to returning to the Premier League where he previously performed well.
Aston Villa are interested in re-signing Douglas Luiz after his disappointing start at Juventus. The Brazilian midfielder joined Juventus in the summer for €50 million, but has failed to make an impact and is not favoured by coach Thiago Motta. Luiz is keen on a Premier League return, and Aston Villa's sporting director, Monchi, has expressed interest in bringing him back.
Douglas Luiz, who made a move from Aston Villa to Juventus for more than 50 million euros this summer, is reportedly not a central figure in coach Thiago Motta's strategy at the Italian club. Luiz is contemplating a return to Aston Villa this winter, and it is said that the club shares this interest. In an interview with La Gazzetta dello Sport, Aston Villa's sporting director Monchi reportedly indicated a willingness to re-sign Luiz if the chance arises. It is anticipated that discussions between the two clubs will occur during Juventus's visit to Aston Villa for the Champions League match.
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.
