Arsenal to miss out on Brazilian midfielder after Juventus call
Aston Villa midfielder Douglas Luiz is prepared to make the switch to Juventus amid interest from Arsenal.
The Brazil international was a top target for the Gunners two years ago, but they could not convince Villa to sell him.
They have continued to be linked with him over recent transfer windows, but he is now likely to move to Serie A.
The Bianconeri are in advanced negotiations with Unai Emery's side and they are prepared to exchange players.
Weston McKennie and Samuel Iling-Junior are set to move to Villa Park. The Bianconeri will also pay a small fee.
Luiz has been one of the best midfielders in the Premier League. He managed 10 goals and 10 assists last term.
Despite Villa qualifying for the Champions League, they have been forced to sell Luiz due to their financial problems.
They need to balance their books to stay within the Financial Fair Play limits and there could be more departures.
Jhon Duran has been strongly linked with a move to Chelsea.
