At the end of January, Aston Villa sealed an initial loan offer for Douglas Luiz from Juventus. sports witness The transfer was covered closely, as the midfielder's stay at Nottingham Forest was cut short.
Chelsea were also interested in the Brazilian, who struggled with injuries during his time at the City Ground. The decision to return to Villa Park is paying off, with Douglas Luiz repeating his best form.
Since joining, the Juventus loanee has started every Premier League game for Aston Villa. He also scored in Wednesday's heavy 4–1 defeat against the Blues.
Now, plans are being made in Turin for the Brazil international's future.
Douglas Luiz's future is in England
black and white Report Juve are desperate to see the midfielder join Aston Villa on a permanent deal.
Unai Emery's side have the option to buy him permanently for €25m, having already paid a loan fee of €3.5m. Since there is no obligation to buy, the Bianconeri are not taking anything for granted.
They are sure that they will not keep the player in Turin next season. Even if he returns from Aston Villa, they will still move him forward again. His time at Juventus was unsuccessful, especially considering the money that was spent on him.
As a result, Juve is assessing an opening in the Premier League. They are hoping Douglas Luiz can continue to impress in Birmingham. This will ensure that even if he doesn't stay at Villa Park, other English clubs will definitely make a move for him.
Things are back on track for Douglas Luiz
The Brazilian's regular game time is coming in the absence of Boubacar Kamara, as the Frenchman is out with a knee injury. That's why the Juventus player was signed in the first place.
It will be interesting to see what happens when Kamara returns as it could reduce Douglas Luiz's playing time. Furthermore, the option to buy is by no means cheap and would require some convincing at Aston Villa.
