What sources close to Arsenal and Aston Villa are now saying about Douglas Luiz
Arsenal reportedly remain keen on signing Douglas Luiz this summer but Aston Villa believe they are under no pressure to sell the midfielder.
That’s according to 90 Min, with the outlet sharing what sources close to both Arsenal and Aston Villa have said about Douglas Luiz.
The Gunners have been heavily linked with a move for the Brazilian for quite some time now. Of course, Mikel Arteta’s men failed with a deadline-day move for Luiz back in the summer of 2022.
Luiz has since signed a new long-term contract with the Villains, but Arsenal have still been tipped to move for the midfielder.
And despite recent suggestions that Villa may be forced to sell one of their star players, Unai Emery’s men believe that won’t be the case.
What sources close to Arsenal and Villa are saying about Luiz deal
reports that despite reporting pre-tax losses of £119.6m during the 12-month period leading up to June last year, Villa believe they will not be forced to sell Luiz.
The outlet notes that Arsenal remain keen on the Villa star but sources close to the Midlands club have insisted that their financial situation is ‘under control’.
This means that the Villains will be in no rush to sell any key players anytime soon.
As for Arsenal, they are still interested in signing Luiz but are also exploring other options ahead of the summer window.
It’s no secret that Luiz has admirers at the Emirates Stadium and his performances this season are only likely to have strengthened that feeling in north London.
The 25-year-old has netted 10 goals and provided eight assists in all competitions for Villa this term.
With Arsenal on the lookout for a midfielder ahead of the summer, Luiz is bound to be on their radar once again.
But the Brazil star seems content with life at Villa Park right now, with Emery’s men in the hunt for a top-four finish.
Much could depend on Villa’s fortunes in the league this term as you’d imagine that Luiz could be keen to stay should they qualify for Europe’s biggest club competition.
