Villa signed the Brazilian from Pep Guardiola’s side back in 2019, and ever since then there’ve been sporadic reports about him returning to the Etihad.

City hold an option to bring Luiz back to Manchester on a cut-price deal, but according to the Telegraph, Luiz won’t be returning to the Etihad this summer.

Luiz has the potential to be a top player in the Premier League, and while he hasn’t necessarily shown that on a weekly basis this season, he’s certainly a player Villa are better off having in their squad.
