Manchester City has set its sights on Douglas Luiz as a key option to strengthen its squad. The Brazilian midfielder, currently at Juventus, could be close to returning to the Etihad, according to international reports. Pep Guardiola's interest in repatriating the 26-year-old player adds to the club's strategic moves in this market, seeking immediate solutions in the central midfield area.

Douglas Luiz, who left City in 2019 for Aston Villa, has experienced significant growth in his career, leading to a prominent transfer to Juventus. However, his adaptation to Thiago Motta's system at the Italian team has not been as expected, opening the door to a potential exit. The English club sees him as an option to cover Rodri's absence, currently out due to injury, and as direct competition for Mateo Kovacic.

Manchester City Working on Douglas Luiz's Return

Juventus would be willing to let go of the Brazilian, albeit with clear conditions, including a loan with an obligation to buy. Meanwhile, Luiz has also attracted interest from other Premier League clubs like Arsenal and Tottenham, but the allure of returning to City and working again under Guardiola's guidance could tip the scale.

The midfielder would be a key piece in the Spanish coach's plans, who has prioritized reinforcing the midfield after completing signings in other positions. With his experience in England and a technical profile that fits perfectly into City's style of play, Douglas Luiz's return could be one of the most intriguing moves of this transfer window. The final decision could be known in the coming weeks.
