Brazilian midfielder Douglas Luiz has been linked with a move back to the Premier League amid his struggles at Juventus.
Aston Villa, Tottenham, and Manchester City are reportedly in the picture to sign Douglas Luiz, and it remains to be seen how the situation develops. According to a report by Graeme Bailey on TBR football, Aston Villa are open to bringing the player back to the club on loan.
The Brazilian midfielder, who cost Juventus £42 million last summer, has not been able to establish himself as a key player for the Serie A giants, and he has been linked with a move away from the Allianz Stadium this month. Aston Villa are hoping to sign him on loan until the end of the season, and it remains to be seen whether the Bianconeri are ready to sanction his departure.
Douglas Luiz was outstanding for Aston Villa during his time at the club, and he had established himself as one of the best midfielders in the Premier League. Returning to his comfort zone could be ideal for the player and it could bring out the best in him once again. The player will hope to get his career back on track with regular football, and returning to the West Midlands club will certainly be a tempting opportunity for him.
Tottenham and Manchester City keen
Tottenham need to add more quality and depth in the middle of the park as well, and the Brazilian midfielder would be the ideal acquisition. The Brazilian international will help them control the tempo of the game from the deep, and he will protect the central defenders as well.
As far as Manchester City are concerned, the opportunity to return to his former club would be quite exciting for the player. Manchester City are one of the biggest clubs in the world, and they have the quality to push for major trophies fairly regularly. Luiz was at Manchester City between 2017 and 2019 and he never quite managed to showcase his qualities at the English club.
He could be tempted if they come calling this month. Manchester City need more depth in the middle of the park, especially after the injury blow to Rodri, and Douglas Luiz would be a quality acquisition for them.
