GAP TO GAP: Aston Villa is reluctant to part ways with a highly respected figure in the league…
Luiz has solidified his reputation as one of the premier midfielders in the league, making it unsurprising that Aston Villa is reluctant to part ways with him. Serving as a crucial player for the West Midlands club, his departure would undoubtedly significantly weaken their squad. Beyond his defensive prowess, the 25-year-old also contributes goals and creativity to the team.
Having amassed ten goals and eight assists in various competitions this season, Luiz emerges as a potentially valuable addition for Arsenal, particularly as they seek an alternative to Thomas Partey. With expectations of Partey’s departure in the summer, securing a suitable replacement becomes imperative for Arsenal, and Luiz has emerged as a viable candidate.
The intriguing question revolves around whether Arsenal is willing to make a substantial offer to Aston Villa in the upcoming summer transfer window. Aston Villa’s pursuit of Champions League qualification adds an extra layer of complexity, as success in securing a top-four finish would diminish the pressure to part ways with key players.
Should Aston Villa secure Champions League qualification, Luiz may opt to continue with the club. The unfolding of this situation in the coming months will be fascinating to observe.
