Liverpool have reportedly tabled a £20 million bid for Aston Villa’s star midfielder Douglas Luiz in the final hours of this summer’s transfer window.
The Reds find themselves in dire need of reinforcements to freshen an injury-hit midfield that has lost the likes of Thiago Alcantara, Curtis Jones and Naby Keita to the sidelines just four games into the new season.
According to a report from The Liverpool Echo, Liverpool are keen on moving in for the highly-rated Villa defensive midfielder Douglas Luiz with a £20 million offer on the table for Steven Gerrard to mull over.
Luis has been linked with a switch to Anfield in the recent past and with Jurgen Klopp on the hunt for a new signing to bolster his options in the centre of the park, the Brazil international is said to be identified as the viable target.
The midfield maestro has found life difficult under the Liverpool icon Gerrard, now in charge at Villa Park, despite the former emerging as a standout performer under the ex-Villa boss Dean Smith.
