Arsenal’s interest in Aston Villa’s Douglas Luiz continues as they prepare for the upcoming summer transfer window.
Despite facing rejections for the 25-year-old Brazilian midfielder in previous transfer windows, the Gunners remain keen on securing his services.
With Mohammed Elneny likely to leave the club, there could be an opportunity for Arsenal to make a significant midfield signing to bolster Mikel Arteta’s squad, especially after bringing in Declan Rice in 2023.
Jorginho and Thomas Partey’s future at Arsenal remains uncertain as their contracts are due to expire in 2024 and 2025, respectively. Meanwhile, Barcelona is reportedly interested in Aston Villa’s Luiz, who will be a free agent in June 2026.
Arsenal’s desire for further reinforcements remains steadfast as they strive to establish themselves as a formidable presence in European football.
Arsenal may consider pursuing Luiz, whom they have been interested in for a while, should they face the departure of several midfielders during the off-season. Luiz, the Brazil international, has played in 46 matches in various competitions this season, scoring 10 goals and providing 10 assists.
