Milan is very active in the market. The Rossoneri are not only focusing on their attack but also on other areas, particularly the midfield, where they are looking for a physical defensive midfielder to place in front of the defense. In recent hours, an old target of the Rossoneri has resurfaced: Douglas Luiz from Aston Villa.
This was reported by Tuttosport this morning, which explains that his name came up during the ongoing talks between Milan and the English club for the right-back Matty Cash. The managers of the Rossoneri club had already targeted the Brazilian midfielder in the summer of 2022 when the Rossoneri were looking for a replacement for Franck Kessie. However, Aston Villa's asking price was too high, and the deal fell through (the Rossoneri then took the young Vrancks on loan from Wolfsburg), as relayed via Milan News.
Now the name of Douglas Luiz is back in vogue, although currently, Youssouf Fofana from Monaco is still at the top of Furlani and Moncada's list. Besides Milan, the Brazilian midfielder was also offered to Juventus in recent weeks. It remains to be seen what Aston Villa's asking price will be this time, as they need to make some sales by June 30 for Financial Fair Play reasons, and Douglas Luiz is one of the potential sacrifices.
