Aston Villa have re-signed midfielder Douglas Luiz from Juventus on a loan deal. Luiz, 27, had been on loan at Nottingham Forest this season but had only started five Premier League games. Any permanent aspect of this deal would cost Aston Villa only a fraction of the £43 million (€50 million) they received from Juventus in June 2024.

The return of fan-favorite Luiz comes at a crucial time for Aston Villa, given that Tielemans, Kamara, and McGinn are all likely to be out for an extended period.
