Nottingham Forest Pursues Douglas Luiz Loan

Juventus midfielder Douglas Luiz, who has struggled for playtime after his €50m transfer from Aston Villa, may get a chance to start against Torino due to Manuel Locatelli's suspension, according to coach Thiago Motta. Meanwhile, Nottingham Forest has inquired about a loan deal for Luiz, looking to bolster their squad as they currently sit third in the Premier League, five points ahead of fifth place. Forest is also exploring options for a striker, with Lucca from Udinese being a primary target, valued at £16 million and attracting interest from several top clubs. Reports indicate that Luiz has been offered to multiple English clubs including Manchester United, Manchester City, and Fulham, as Juventus seeks to recoup part of his transfer fee. Additionally, Luiz's girlfriend, Alisha Lehmann, plays for Juventus' women's team, complicating any potential move away from the club. With both clubs eager to strengthen their squads, the January transfer window could see significant developments regarding Luiz's future.
