Aston Villa have made a fresh enquiry to re-sign former midfielder Douglas Luiz on loan.
The 27-year-old is currently on loan at Nottingham Forest from Juventus, but could leave the City Ground before Monday's transfer deadline.
Chelsea are also interested in the Brazil international but sources have told BBC Sport his preference is Villa, where he made 204 appearances between 2019 and 2024.
Villa sold Luiz to Juventus for £42.5m in June 2024 to help solve their profit and sustainability problems, but he made just three Serie A starts before joining Forest in August 2025.
