Manchester City have been scouring the transfer market for Fernandinho’s long-term replacement, but Mike McGrath of The Telegraph says they’re unlikely to sign Douglas Luiz.
The 23-year-old was one of many players on their shortlist, having impressed at Aston Villa since leaving City, but he won’t be brought back to the Etihad if Fernandinho ‘remains part’ of Pep Guardiola’s squad next season.
Luiz left the Sky Blues for Villa in 2019 and has gone on to make 73 appearances in all competition, scoring three goals with five assists.
