Douglas Luiz heads a list of players Aston Villa will consider selling this month to ensure they do not break Premier League spending rules.
Villa saw Everton and Nottingham Forest docked eight and four points respectively last season and Mail Sport understands players could leave before June 30 – the cut-off point for the 2023-24 accounting period.
Under the current profitability and sustainability regulations (PSR), top-flight clubs are allowed to lose a maximum of £105million over a three-year period.
Mail Sport revealed on Monday that Villa had sent a proposal to their fellow Premier League clubs, suggesting the limit be increased to £135m and hoping to bring a vote on the matter at the shareholders’ meeting on June 6.
