Douglas Luiz is still wanted by Arsenal, but Aston Villa feels sure they can hold onto him for the rest of the season.
For a few seasons, Mikel Arteta’s team has been keeping an eye on him, and in the summer of 2022, they nearly added him to their roster.

Although both teams were unable to come to a consensus, Luiz stayed at Villa Park despite being receptive to the transfer.
He flourished and was able to extend his contract with the club a few weeks later, making this one of his most productive seasons to date.
He’s developed into a more potent player under Unai Emery, and he should end the year with double figures in goals.

He might agree to a new contract with the team as the Villans strive to be among the top four, according to a story in The Sun.
According to the source, Villa is determined to hold onto the midfield player and will not allow any bidders to purchase him because of his importance to the team.
Only Arsenal’s viewpoint
Because Luiz is a great midfield player and has contributed incalculably to Villa, they do not want to lose him.
But each player has a price, and we expect them to sell to us if we offer them ours.
