Report - Manchester City Could Trigger Buy Back Clause for Douglas Luiz

Manchester City are rumored to be in the process of ‘moving’ to trigger the clause which allows them to sign Douglas Luiz back from Aston Villa for £25m.

From Globo Esporte, the report also stated it could be because City will not add another midfielder and they are comfortable with Luiz performances at Aston Villa.

If true, I would welcome his signing. He could fill a traditional ‘6’ role for City and even partner with Rodirgo or Ilkay Gundogan. If anything he will be a useful utility piece.

A solid signing for depth purposes and one that would allow full focus on assuring a Cb and/or striker. Or even, Lionel Messi.

We’ll have to wait and see how this turns out.
