Juventus Seeks 40M€ Sale for Douglas Luiz Amid Premier League Interest

Douglas Luiz, who joined Juventus from Aston Villa in 2024 for around €50 million, has struggled to secure a regular starting position and has faced disciplinary issues, including failing to report for pre-season training. Juventus has welcomed Luiz back into the squad after he apologized but is keen to move him on this summer, valuing him at approximately €40 million and preferring a permanent transfer rather than a loan. Premier League clubs Nottingham Forest and Everton have shown interest, with Forest proposing a loan with an obligation to buy around €30 million, a deal Juventus is reluctant to accept. Juventus is exploring midfield reinforcements and targeting Nottingham Forest’s Ibrahim Sangare, potentially as part of a wider squad overhaul that includes Luiz’s departure and other transfers. Luiz has expressed frustration over his limited playing time but remains committed to Juventus as they aim to recoup a significant portion of their investment. His future at Juventus remains uncertain amid ongoing transfer negotiations and squad restructuring efforts.
