Manchester City are considering re-signing Aston Villa midfielder Douglas Luiz this summer.
And, as to be expected, a number of Villa fans have been giving their thoughts to the news on social media.
Villa signed Luiz from City back in 2019 for just over £15m, however, Pep Guardiola’s side included a £25m buy-back clause in the deal two years ago.
According to 90min, City are now considering triggering that clause in the summer window for the 23-year-old.
La Liga champions Atletico Madrid are also thought to be keen on the Brazilian midfielder, with Villa now reportedly scouring the market for a replacement.
Luiz has been a regular under Dean Smith, making 76 appearances across two seasons, but it appears his future may be out of Villa’s hands.

At the start of the season and end of last season I would’ve been gutted but been poor last 10 games also with Nakamba putting in great performances and Sanson to come back and no doubt there would be a midfielder coming in if Luiz goes.”Credit: @AstonVilla_info”Excellent news”Credit: @BenjiPace”The money would get us better”Credit: @Chaoli13020″They can have him..”Credit: @terryreid2″Replaceable IMO.”Credit: @MichaelODonnel1
