Liverpool have discussed signing Douglas Luiz from Aston Villa

Douglas Luiz has been linked with a move away from Aston Villa on numerous occasions in the ⛎past.

Arsenal came close to signing him last year, while Tottenham Hotspur have also been rumoured to be interested in his services.

Luiz has been incredible for the Villans and his game has reached a whole new level since Unai Emery’s arrival. He has been so good that Spanish newspaper even compared him to Manchester United star Casemiro.

Now, Jacobs has claimed that Liverpool have considered Luiz during internal discussions, but no move for the Aston Villa star has been made yet.

He said: “Yeah, Douglas Luiz is a name that has been discusseꩵd internally by Liverpool. I’m not aware of any movement at this point.

“I think that it’s crystal clear that Liverpool wants to a🎐dd between now and the end of the window if the right name becomes available.”

TBR View:

Douglas Luiz is an incredible footballer, and it’s not too big of a surpri🔯se to learn that Liverpool have considered signing him.

The Brazilian, who only turned 25 a few months ago, has proven himself in the Premier League over the last few years. He’s excellent on the ball, brilliant off it, is good with set-pieces and he has shown he can score a worldie or tꦯwo every season.

Under a manager like Klop🧔p, Luiz would surely develop even more, but we just can’t see Aston Villa eve🐓n considering a bid for him this late in the window.

Luiz still ꦉhas three years left on his contract at Villa Park, so if Liverpoo꧃l want to sign him, they will have to splash the big bucks in the coming days.
