It would be a blow for Villa to lose Luiz this summer. He played every minute in Villa’s final five league games of last season.

But they have signed Boubacar Kamara. And Luiz is out of contract at the end of next season. So, the Villans may have little choice but to consider offers should he make it clear that he is not signing a fresh deal.

Reports have previously suggested that Villa want £25.9 million for Luiz. And that would possibly be a decent fee given his contract situation. He has also not always been in the most impressive form since his move.

He is a player who has been described as ‘‘. And there is absolutely no question that Villa could have a special talent in their ranks if Steven Gerrard can get the best out of him.

But his contract situation leaves plenty up in the air. And it seems Milan are looking to potentially capitalise.
