Aston Villa struck gold on Smith signing who’s worth £33m more than Luiz.
Douglas Luiz has developed into “one of the Premier League’s standout midfielders,” according to Jacob Tanswell of The Athletic last season, and his center-of-the-park efforts were crucial to Aston Villa’s incredible top-four finish.
Luiz, who joined Villa Park five years ago as a 21-year-old for a £15 million cost in 2019, has been a part of the team since then. Since then, he has recorded 204 appearances, 22 goals, and 24 assists.
Villa, designed by Unai Emery, has thrived in the fertile ground of European competition and has now ascended to the top table, where they are considered among the elite of the elite.
Emery combined skill, determination, and tactical know-how to construct a system that was so fluid and passionate, with Luiz at its core.Last term, each player had ten goals and ten assists. The central general, the one who sets the tone and pace.
Sadly, he’s leaving soon. He was drawn to Turin by Juventus’ desire to abide by the Premier League’s profit and sustainability (PSR) regulations. The arrival of the Brazil international allowed Enzo Barrenechea, a deep midfielder, and Samuel Iling-Junior, a young English winger, to move to Villa Park.
Luiz, who was valued at €50 million (£42 million) in total throughout the process, leaves Villa, one of its main players, but there is another Lions player who is actually valued significantly higher than the 26-year-old.
