| Outcome | Never happened |
| Rated at the end | 1% |
| Resolved | July 24th |
Villa declined the roughly €25m purchase option on Douglas Luiz after his January–June loan, judging it too steep, and hoped to reopen talks at a reduced fee. No renewed negotiation has followed: the midfielder is back at Juventus, who may keep him, and Alfredo Pedullà reports no wider market for him. The thread has been silent since early July and the pursuit is over for this window.
