Longo: Milan enquire about Aston Villa midfielder but Juventus are ahead

By Isak Möller -

AC Milan have held talks with Aston Villa in recent days and aren’t just interested in Matty Cash, but also the midfielder Douglas Luiz. They have enquired about the situation, according to a report, but the competition is fierce. 

Four positions have been highlighted as necessary for Milan to reinforce this summer: centre-back, right-back, defensive midfield and striker. Joshua Zirkzee appears to be the priority for the latter, while Matty Cash is being monitored for the right-back role.

According to Daniele Longo of Calciomercato.com, Milan aren’t just in talks with Aston Villa over Cash but also Douglas Luiz. They enquired about the midfielder’s situation in the most recent meeting and if the conditions are right, they could make an official offer.

For now, though, Juventus are ahead as they initiated their pursuit before the Rossoneri. As added by Longo in a tweet, Douglas Luiz’s price tag is around €40m plus bonuses so we would be talking about a sizeable investment.

Milan would have to be absolutely sure about the 26-year-old, in other words, and for now there is only interest. Monaco’s Youssouf Fofana has also been linked with the Rossoneri for the same role and he would be significantly cheaper.

  1. Milan should go for him at all cost, he is fenomenal and his performance is consistent. Milan should take a look at Carlos Miguel goalkeeper at Corinthians. He is so cheap with 4Mi release clause. He is tall as much as Dida was, same team Dida came from and his numbers are great. He is still young for the position and can be a great player in the long run. Forrest from England is doing their move already.

  2. He’s a midfielder now..

    Cute

    I’ll just put on some Johnny Cash records until they decide which position plays

    1. You can’t go completely wrong with Johnny Cash 🙂 Matty Cash on the other hand doesn’t seem like a well liked choice around here 😀

  3. They need to make a big capital gain by the end of the month, so it’s likely that Moncada has spoken to them, as he would try to take advantage of that opportunity. But I don’t think we can afford Douglas Luiz.

  4. Milan was interested in him 3 to 4 season ago he was very cheap then. But they choose to go for bakayoko on loan..

    Now they want to buy Douglas Luiz twice the money they should have bought him seasons back.

    We can say the same bout Sesko and many more players like that. Clueless and senseless management.

    1. And there are players like Theo, Leao, Maignan and Tonali, who all raised their value. Don’t talk out of one side of your mouth.
