In 53 games in all competitions, he had a double-double performance of 10 goals and as many assists. Luiz started his career at Vasco da Gama, and in 2017, he was bought by Manchester City for 12 million euros. Afterwards, the Cityzens sent him to Girona on loan, where he spent two seasons and recorded 46 appearances, but without a single goal or assist.Time for some magic by the lake: Fabregas wants Hummels and VaraneHowever, at Aston Villa, they believed in his potential and development. Back in 2019, they snapped him up for a compensation of 16.8 million euros, which turned out to be a phenomenal move. He played 204 games for the Lions, half as a defensive midfielder and half as a central midfielder. Last season, Emery moved him closer to the attack, which proved to be crucial to his flourishing. Only then was he able to show his skills with the ball at his feet. Additionally, his superb anticipation and interception abilities, combined with the excellent free-kick taking helped him improve his offensive performance and eventually recommended him to Juventus.##NAJAVA_MECA_8186108##
