During the summer transfer window, Aston Villa sold several players who competed at the international level as Monchi made significant

changes to the team.

While the Villans got ready to return to the UEFA Champions League, players like Douglas Luiz, an international for Brazil, Viljami

One of the more surprising deals of the summer transfer window saw Luiz move to Juventus in a £42.3m deal. The Brazilian had only just

scored ten goals and provided ten assists in 53 appearances for Unai Emery last season, having also been named the Player’s Player of the

Season and Supporter’s Player of the Season at Aston Villa after the 2022/23 campaign.

Aston Villa agreed to the deal, which also saw Samuel Iling-Junior and Enzo Barrenechea move the other way to Villa Park, to “alleviate

concerns about meeting the Premier League’s profitability and sustainability regulations” (PSR) – according to the Guardian. Now –

Saturday’s 0-0 draw against Empoli, and they were far from impressed.
