Douglas Luiz is on the verge of completing a return to Aston Villa after a verbal agreement was reached with Juventus over a paid loan deal that includes a buy option clause. As confirmed by Fabrizio Romano on his official X account , the Brazilian midfielder is set to head back to Villa Park just 18 months after leaving for Italy, with the move following talks revealed last week.
As previously reported by SoftFootball , amid strong interest from Chelsea, Villa reopened negotiations with Juventus and moved quickly to secure a deal that suits all parties. The structure of the transfer requires an extra step, as Luiz is currently on loan at Nottingham Forest.
