Could it be a return to the Premier League?

Luiz part of NSWE’s big transfer plan
Despite potential Champions League qualification, Aston Villa may need to sell players to balance their finances. Douglas Luiz is rumored to be a key departure target, with interest from top clubs like Manchester City and Arsenal.
If Luiz is sold and Villa secures a Champions League spot, the club could invest heavily in new signings to strengthen their squad.
However, the hefty price tag of £100m for Luiz may pose a challenge for potential buyers, given recent hefty midfield investments by clubs like Arsenal and Manchester City.
