AC Milan 'open talks with Aston Villa for Brazilian star Douglas Luiz' with the Premier League club 'willing to lower their £26m price tag' for the midfielder who could leave for FREE next year

AC Milan have reportedly opened talks to bring Aston Villa midfielder Douglas Luiz to Italy this summer in a deal that could be worth up to £26million.

Luiz has one-year left on his contract at Villa Park but that hasn't stopped the Premier League side demanding a high fee for the player they bought for £15m in 2019.

The Brazilian has impressed during his three years in the Midlands and could now be set for a move to the Serie A champions, according to GOAL.
