Milan are ‘seriously considering’ a move for Aston Villa midfielder Douglas Luiz as an alternative to Renato Sanches.
That’s according to TuttoMercatoWeb, who say the Italian club held a meeting with the Brazilian’s agent’s this afternoon at Milan’s headquarters.
That meeting was held so they could understand the ‘economic terms’ of a negotiation which could take off ‘in the coming days’.
Luiz is ‘seriously considering’ a departure from Villa Park this summer, with his contract there set to expire next June.
Indeed, a report today made it clear that his relationship with Steven Gerrard’s side was at an all-time low.
He had reportedly made it clear he does not intend to renew and had ‘practically broken up’ with the club as a result.
Roma were the club being most heavily linked, but now Milan are in the picture, and they would be a ‘welcome destination’ for him should he leave Aston Villa as expected.
