Nottingham Forest has agreed to sign Douglas Luiz from Juventus on a season-long loan deal with an obligation to buy, marking a significant addition to their midfield.
Nottingham Forest has reached an agreement with Juventus to sign Brazilian midfielder Douglas Luiz on a loan deal with an obligation to buy.
The Italian giants have agreed to send Luiz to Forest on an initial loan deal, with the East Midlands club having the option to make the move permanent. This move comes after Luiz struggled to meet expectations at Juventus, prompting the club to consider moving him on sooner rather than later.
The 27-year-old midfielder has extensive experience in the Premier League, having played 175 games for Aston Villa and helping them qualify for last season’s Champions League. Luiz’s return to the Premier League could be a significant boost to Nottingham Forest’s squad, and manager Nuno Espírito Santo will be watching his performances closely.
If Luiz performs well, he could stay with the club beyond the initial loan period.
Former Arsenal technical director Edu reportedly played a key role in bringing Luiz to Nottingham Forest. The Brazilian midfielder has agreed to personal terms with the club, and the deal is expected to be finalised soon. Juventus is looking to avoid a capital loss on Luiz’s sale, with a reported valuation of around €40 million.
With this potential transfer, Juventus is expected to bring Randal Kolo Muani back from PSG. The French forward has been linked with a return to Juventus, and the club is reportedly close to finalising the deal.
