Despite adding the midfield duo of Alexis Mac Allister, Dominik Szoboszlai, and Wataru Endo, Liverpool is still looking for a fourth player, preferably a “multi-functional” one, to play in the center of the park.
The names Ryan Gravenberch and Cheick Doucoure have been mentioned the most recently, while Andre Trindade of Fluminense is extremely unlikely to be moved, according to Anfield Watch.
Although the Reds haven’t publicly begun a move to recruit the 25-year-old from Villa, journalist Ben Jacobs claims that Villa’s Luiz is another name that has been mentioned internally. In an interview with GIVEMESPORT, Jacobs also corroborated the widely reported rumor that Liverpool is actively seeking to bring in another midfielder.
“Liverpool has discussed the name of Douglas Luiz internally,” he claimed. There is currently no movement that I am aware of. If the appropriate player becomes available, I believe it is quite apparent that Liverpool wants to add before the transfer season closes.
In addition, Jacobs gave an update on Ryan Gravenberch, who said he would find a new home after Bayern Munich’s 3-1 victory against Augsburg on Sunday despite rumors of interest from Liverpool and Manchester United.
The player is eager to transfer, and Ryan Gravenberch has been a longtime target for Liverpool, so I would still keep an eye on him, he continued. Bayern simply insists they don’t want to sell, so we’ll have to wait and see if anything changes once the transfer season closes. I believe that Liverpool has let the market know that they have a lot of money to spend by putting that $111 million down in an unsuccessful attempt to sign Moises Caicedo.
Luiz joined Villa in 2019, moving there from Manchester City for about £15 million.

The nine-cap Brazil international has 155 appearances for the Villans across all competitions. In 2022–23, he was practically a constant, appearing in 37 of the team’s 38 league games and contributing six goals.
Another Villa midfielder, Boubacar Kamara, was said to have also been discussed internally at Liverpool last week, according to a report.
