Arsenal could pay far less to sign Douglas Luiz if they wait until the summer

Arsenal has been consistently linked with a move for Douglas Luiz in recent months, having unsuccessfully attempted to acquire him in the summer of 2022. Aston Villa rejected at least two bids from Mikel Arteta’s side, affirming their stance that the Brazilian midfielder was not for sale.

Aston Villa’s decision has proven wise, as Luiz has become a pivotal figure in their improved team, particularly excelling in the midfield role. This has heightened Arsenal’s interest in securing his services, prompting the Gunners to prepare for another bid.

While challenging for the league crown, Arsenal may consider making a tempting offer to Aston Villa in the upcoming transfer window. However, it could be challenging for Villa to agree to the sale of such a crucial player midway through the season.

If a deal were to materialise, there’s speculation that Arsenal might need to break their transfer record to secure Luiz. However, a report from Football Insider suggests that the North London club could potentially sign him for a lower fee if he doesn’t extend his contract by the end of the season. With two years left on his deal come the summer, Luiz may seek a move, potentially compelling Villa to consider selling him.

Just Arsenal Opinion

Luiz is such a superb player and will instantly make us a better team if he joins us next month.

However, we may have to wait until the summer to sign him or move for someone else.

  1. Not the answer. Villa won’t sell him in January anyway. I’d prefer we move for Fofana instead and then try to sign Zubimendi in the summer. Elneny Jorginho Partey move on to pastures new and maybe give Patino a squad place next season, that’s the Midfield set for the foreseeable future. Rice Zubimendi Fofana Patino.

  2. Pointless to waste any time trying to get him in January. Just looks somewhere else or sign in another position. We’re getting linked with a lot of “big players” lately but we need to remember these guys are trying to sell papers and get clicks. The reality is our budget is limited and clubs are going to charge crazy amount just like they did last January. Arsenal’s job to look for a good deal in the market. Don’t hold your breath on Luiz or Toney.

  3. We should break the record to sign Luiz in January to put us in a better position to compete for the league title

  4. Arsenal could test the waters immediately when the next January transfer window is opened. By submitting the bids which they can afford to Aston Villa to break their resolves to not sell their player Douglas Luiz to them next January transfer window. But if it is true that Arsenal actually want to sign the player next Jan widow but not just a fabricated media hyped Jan transfer rumours.
    If the last Arsenal bid to sign Douglas Luiz goes through. Fine and it’s all for good for us Arsenal. But if it falls through, no problem as Arsenal will move on to their next lined up defensive holding midfielder target signing to try to sign him. But such a new holding midfielder signing SHOULD not be less in grade than the top quality of Thomas Partey but of an equal top quality with him or more than his.
    Let us Arsenal for the time being leave Arsenal signing Douglas Luiz or not signing him next January on the hold .
    So that us will focus our attention very well on our next very important big game Epl match on the week away to Liverpool on Saturday.
    For, the Reds manager Jurgen Klopp has sounded a note of warning to us Arsenal to be mindful and prepared to contend with the Anfield Liverpool fans hostility. For, he has charged the Anfield faithful to drum up crasy support to the very peak in their support for the Reds in the big game match encounter..
    Therefore, Arteta and the Gunners SHOULD be fully prepared themselves for the match and to surmount 4 opp.options in the match encounter and beat them all to it in the match. As they could have to contend in the match with 1st, the Reds gengenpressing and too many shots at goal kind of football game playing in the match. And who could press the Gunners insane to score to win the match. And 2ndly, the Pgmol on the field match referee and his 2 assistants, all could deliberately referred the match to the favour of the Reds.
    3rdky, the VAR personnel for the match could intentionally intervene wrongly in the match referee’s reffereeing decisions in the anti-Arsenal intervening way in the game to disadvantage Arsenal in the match.
    And lastly, the huge Anfield Stadium Reds’ partisan home supporters. Who will in their supporting their Reds team, drive them in the game to score and win the match. And also couldn in their drive support influenced the match referee and his assistants decision making in the match against Arsenal.

  5. I would really like to see the gaffer sign his ideal players, the Vlohovic,s the Raphinha,s the Lacottelli,s the Douglass Luiz,s

    But some will find it hard to let go of grudges

    1. Forget them mate, they are not worth the worship. They’ve made the decision they deem “best” for them, so good riddance.
