Aston Villa may sell their leader, who is interested in Juventus

Aston Villa on the eve of their first Champions League appearances in almost 40 years could be without their leading player.

We previously reported on Juventus' interest in Villans midfielder Douglas Luiz, and according to former Birmingham club CEO Keith Wyness, Unai Emery's team could also sell the Brazilian:

"My contacts at Villa say Luis could well leave this summer. I think that would be a great shame. He has proven himself very well and is developing from strength to strength.

He is a crucial part of any squad Villa could field in the Champions League. But there is a feeling that he may have to go.

A lot will depend on how they get rid of some of the younger players. I've already mentioned Jacob Ramsey and he's a key figure," Football Insider quoted Weanes as saying.
