Aston Villa has become the latest club considering the option to sign Brazilian midfielder Douglas Luiz on loan, amid ongoing transfer market moves to strengthen the midfield, according to journalist Ben Jacobs.

Villa's interest comes at a critical time, following Yuri Tielemans' ankle injury, which is expected to sideline the player for an extended period. This has prompted the club's management to seek quick and effective solutions to fill the midfield gap in the upcoming phase.

In the same context, Nottingham Forest has expressed its readiness to allow Douglas Luiz to return to Juventus to facilitate any potential deal, whether on loan or through other transfer arrangements, opening the door to several scenarios in the coming days.

It is worth noting that Douglas Luiz had previously shone in an Aston Villa jersey after joining from Manchester City, where he delivered impressive performances that made him one of the standout midfielders in the team, before subsequently moving to Juventus and then Nottingham Forest. He still garners interest from other clubs, including Chelsea, which has listed him as one of its options to strengthen the midfield.
