Manchester City are reportedly giving consideration to re-signing Douglas Luiz from Aston Villa.
When allowing the Brazilian to move to the West Midlands last summer, Pep Guardiola requested that a buy-back clause was included in the agreement.
With the 22-year-old having gotten a season's worth of Premier League football under his belt, Bleacher Report claims that his performances have not gone unnoticed at the Etihad Stadium.
After costing £15m, Luiz has been provided with 25 starts and eight substitute outings for the relegation-threatened outfit.
Work permit issues have previously prevented Luiz from representing City, who instead found himself out on loan at Spanish side Girona.
Guardiola has acknowledged in the past that Luiz could have been a useful member of his first-team squad.
