Although Arsenal is still interested in the midfield player, Aston Villa is certain they can hold onto Douglas Luiz for the duration of this year.
The team that has been tracking Mikel Arteta for a number of seasons nearly added him to their roster in the summer of 2022.
Although Luiz was amenable to the move, he stayed at Villa Park since the two teams were unable to come to an agreement.
A few weeks later, he received a contract extension from the team, and he has since thrived, having one of his best seasons to date.
He has improved as a player under Unai Emery and is expected to end the campaign with more than ten goals.
Manchester City is vying with Arsenal for his services, but Villa isn’t even thinking about selling him.
He might agree to a new contract with the team as the Villans strive to be among the top four, according to a story in The Sun.
According to the source, Villa is determined to hold onto the midfield player and will not allow any bidders to purchase him because of his importance to the team.
Only Arsenal’s viewpoint
Because Luiz is a great midfield player and has contributed incalculably to Villa, they do not want to lose him.
But each player has a price, and we expect them to sell to us if we offer them ours.
