Pep Guardiola adds ‘unbelievable’ Arsenal target to Manchester City’s transfer shortlist
Arsenal have been linked with a move to sign Douglas Luiz for a long time now, and Pep Guardiola has just added him to Manchester City’s list of targets.
The Brazilian is having an amazing season at Aston Villa. Unai Emery has taken his game to the next level, and Luiz is now even more of a wanted man. Arsenal have always liked him, and now, Guardiola is keeping an eye on him too.
Arsenal target Douglas Luiz is now on Pep Guardiola’s shortlist at Manchester City
Douglas Luiz has made a name for himself at Aston Villa, but before he joined them, he was on Manchester City‘s books.
The Brazilian spent two years as a City player but didn’t make a single appearance under Pep Guardiola. He joined Villa on a permanent deal in 2019 and has since been ‘‘ for them.
Arsenal made him their top transfer target in the winter window, but because of FFP and PSR constraints, a move did not materialise. The Gunners, however, are still interested.
In what could be a blow to Mikel Arteta, Luiz’s old club Manchester City have him on their list too.
claimed on Friday that Guardiola, along with Liverpool, wants to sign Bruno Guimaraes, but among the alternative options on the Manchester City transfer shortlist is Luiz.
The Premier League champions are looking for a new midfielder to partner Rodri, and Luiz is someone they are considering along with Joshua Kimmich and Guimares.
Luiz, 25, will enter the final two years of his Aston Villa contract this summer.
Aston Villa don’t want to see Douglas Luiz
Douglas Luiz is one of Aston Villa’s most important players, and he is having an amazing season under Unai Emery.
The Brazil international has scored 10 goals and provided 10 assists already this season. This is his most productive campaign yet, which is why he is a wanted man.
Sources close to Aston Villa have made it clear that the Villans are under no financial pressure to sell Luiz, and they will do everything to retain his services.
That means if Manchester City or Arsenal want to sign Luiz in the summer, they will have to spend big.
