Aston Villa's Douglas Luiz is drawing interest from LaLiga giants Atletico Madrid with just one year remaining on his contract... but the Spanish side face competition in Arsenal, Chelsea and Newcastle for his services

Aston Villa midfielder Douglas Luiz is attracting interest from LaLiga side Atletico Madrid.

Reports suggest Atletico are preparing a £20million bid for Luiz, who has struggled to cement a place in Steven Gerrard's struggling side as yet this season, although that will likely be rejected in favour of a higher fee.

And it is not just suitors from afar that Villa will need to worry about, with domestic rivals Arsenal, Chelsea and Newcastle all interested, with reports suggesting Tottenham are joining that list, too.

Luiz has 115 appearances for Villa since arriving from Manchester City in 2019

Villa have made a poor start to the 2022-23 season, winning just once and losing three more, and after having established himself as one of the league's better midfielders outside of the top six, Luiz could be tempted by a move away.
