"Aston Villa have made a fresh enquiry to re-sign former midfielder Douglas Luiz on loan. The 27-year-old is currently on loan at Nottingham Forest from Juventus, but could leave the City Ground before Monday's transfer deadline. Chelsea are also interested in the Brazil international but sources have told BBC Sport his preference is Villa, where he made 204 appearances between 2019 and 2024."
"Villa boss Unai Emery is looking to bolster his midfield options, with captain John McGinn out for up to two months with a knee issue and Boubacar Kamara expected to miss the rest of the season with a knee injury. Villa are third in the Premier League - four points behind leaders Arsenal - and have qualified for the Europa League last 16 with one league-phase game to spare."
Aston Villa have made a fresh enquiry to bring Douglas Luiz back on loan as midfield cover. Luiz is currently on loan at Nottingham Forest from Juventus and could leave before the transfer deadline. Chelsea also show interest, but Luiz prefers Villa, where he made 204 appearances between 2019 and 2024. Villa sold him to Juventus for £42.5m in June 2024; he started three Serie A matches before joining Forest in August 2025. Nottingham Forest's loan contains appearance-based purchase conditions that have not been met. Injuries to John McGinn and Boubacar Kamara have prompted Villa to seek reinforcements, while Tammy Abraham's £18m move from Besiktas is expected to be completed imminently.
