According to journalist Michael Plant, Manchester City received £8.5 million from Douglas Luiz’s transfer to Juventus thanks to a resale clause included in the contract when they sold him.
Michael Plant states that Manchester City included a 20% resale clause in the contract when they sold Douglas Luiz to Aston Villa in the summer of 2019. Now, thanks to the player’s transfer to Juventus, the clause has come into effect, and Manchester City has received £8.5 million.
Luiz never got the chance to play for the Citizens’ first team before his transfer, but he became a key player for Villa, making 204 appearances, scoring 22 goals and assisting on 24 others. In the 2023/24 season, he helped the team secure a fourth-place finish in the Premier League, earning a place in the Champions League.
