Liverpool target move for Douglas Luiz

Liverpool have planned to make a new addition to their midfield in the summer transfer window.

The Reds will be active in the transfer market as they prepare for life under new manager Arne Slot.

Michael Edwards and Richard Hughes, along with the new manager, are determined to sign new players with the aim of bringing Liverpool back to the top of English football.

A report from Calciomercato claims that a number of teams, including Liverpool, are interested in signing Aston Villa midfielder Douglas Luiz.

The 26-year-old was one of Villa’s stars last season as they qualified for the Champions League under manager Unai Emery.

Luiz’s experience and record in the Premier League make him an ideal potential addition to the Reds’ midfield, which has been in need of rejuvenation.

In 35 Premier League appearances last season, the Brazilian midfielder scored 9 goals and provided 5 assists.

Under Emery, Luiz was Villa’s key player alongside striker Ollie Watkins and goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez.

Luiz plays in defensive midfield but can also score goals and provide creative contributions.

This season has shown that Liverpool are in need of a new signing in midfield after falling short of the Premier League title challenge against Manchester City and Arsenal.

Moreover, the departure of Thiago Alcantara this summer has forced the Reds to add a new midfielder in the summer transfer window.

Douglas Luiz can shine at Liverpool

The Aston Villa midfielder is a specialist in the play and, along with protecting the back four, can build play from deep and help the Merseyside club become a better team.

The 26-year-old has the skills to grow into an elite player.

The South American midfielder can take the next step in his career by joining a bigger club to play alongside world-class players.

If Liverpool and new manager Slot are looking for a midfielder who can shine in the Premier League and has past experience, then they should look no further than Luiz.
