Aston Villa's Douglas Luiz warms up

Luiz’s impressive form for Dean Smith’s side this season has done nothing to quash suggestions that City could be keen to bring him back to the Etihad Stadium, where he left for Villa Park in 2019.

It is suggested that City can take advantage of the buyback clause inserted into the 22-year-old Brazilian’s Villa deal.

The Express & Star confirmed in August that Villa were confident of keeping hold of their man for the forthcoming campaign, but Pep Guardiola’s side could be tempted into making a January swoop to boost their Premier League title bid.

The same reports also suggested that City have taken an interest in star captain Jack Grealish, after his eye-catching displays for club and country and are weighing up a move for the skipper next summer.
