Aston Villa without Douglas Luiz are much weaker than they are, and Juventus, who signed the Brazilian midfielder in the summer for €50.5 million, have not received the expected boost from the purchase.
Juventus’ new manager Thiago Motta has hardly used Luiz this autumn and has not opposed the idea of sending him on as early as January. – Aston Villa are said to want a return, but they are not willing to pay the same they got in the summer, that money and a little more has already been spent on replacement Amadou Onana in a move from Everton.

Manchester United, who barely managed to beat Bodø/Glimt at Old Trafford yesterday and Manchester City, who are in complete disarray during the day, are ready to open their wallets in January.
Now Gazzetta dello Sport, who previously speculated about a return to the Premier League for Luiz, have confirmed that two giants could go into battle for the brass.
According to the newspaper, both Manchester City and Manchester United have Luiz in their sights as a reinforcement to their respective midfields in the winter window.
Juventus, however, are said to demand a similar amount as the club paid for Luiz last summer.
Douglas Luiz has only made two starts for Juventus this season.
