Unai Emery, coach of Aston Villa, has made it clear that he does not consider the return of Douglas Luiz to the English team, closing any speculation about a possible move in the upcoming transfer market. Meanwhile, Juventus, the current club of the Brazilian, is looking for alternatives to offload a player who has not been able to meet expectations in Serie A since his arrival.

Douglas Luiz, who joined Juventus after standing out as one of the most consistent midfielders in the Premier League, has had a disappointing start in Italian football. With just 312 minutes played in nine appearances, his role in the team has been limited, having started in only two matches before facing physical problems. This poor performance, combined with his high transfer cost, has raised doubts within the Turin club about his continuity.

Aston Villa does not need Douglas Luiz's return

At Aston Villa, the situation is different. Emery relies on a solid midfield led by players like Youri Tielemans and Boubacar Kamara, who have been effective this season. Given this scenario, the Spanish coach has stated that the club will prioritize reinforcements in other areas before considering Luiz's return, who left a significant mark during his time in England.

On the other hand, Juventus is exploring options to recover part of the £42 million invested in the Brazilian's signing. Among the alternatives, there are rumors of a possible interest from Everton, a team that might be willing to negotiate an exchange that benefits both parties. However, uncertainty surrounds the future of the midfielder, who will have to define his next step in the coming months.

The transfer market promises to be crucial in determining Douglas Luiz's destiny, as he still has much to prove in Europe.
