Liverpool are “genuinely interested” in the Premier League midfielder, especially ahead of the January transfer window.Douglas Luiz has been a key member of Unai Emery’s Aston Villa side, who currently sit bottom of the Champions League on points compared to the Anfield side. According to a report from TEAMTALK, Arsenal and Manchester City are interested in the 25-year-old, who has scored six goals and provided three assists in all competitions this season.
Reports claim the Brazilian will turn down potential suitors for £80m but is unlikely to leave Villa Park midway through the campaign. The Rio de Janeiro-born talent has started all 13 of Villa’s Championship games this season, including Sunday’s 2-1 defeat by Tottenham at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, and former Arsenal boss Emery believes he is a key player.Despite signing four new midfielders this summer, Jurgen Klopp is still rumored to be interested in signing a deep-lying midfielder. According to this new report, Luiz has a “Merseyside profile”. Villa are adamant they will not sell their central midfielder, but their decision will be tested if a big-money bid comes in at the end of the season.
