Douglas Luiz Set For Nottingham Forest Medical Ahead Of Premier League Return

Brazilian midfielder Douglas Luiz is in England today. He is getting ready for a medical exam at Nottingham Forest. This is a step closer to his Premier League return for the 2025-26 season.

LUIS ARRIVES IN ENGLAND FOR FOREST MOVE

Douglas Luiz is traveling to England this morning to have medical tests with Nottingham Forest. The club has made a deal with Juventus for about €30 million plus extra payments. Luiz joined Juventus just a year ago for €50 million. He had a great season at Aston Villa with 10 goals and 10 assists in the 2023-24 Premier League. However, his time in Italy was not successful. He struggled to replicate his Premier League form at Juventus and did not score or assist in 27 games for the club after experiencing disciplinary issues.

WHY THIS DEAL MATTERS

Nottingham Forest wants to make the team stronger after finishing 7th in the Premier League last season and qualifying for the Conference League. Luiz’s experience in the Premier League is very important. Forest wants to have a more stable campaign and move to the middle of the table. They have already signed eight new players this summer. They are getting ready for more games, including European competition for the first time in over 20 years, having qualified for the UEFA Conference League last season which aligns with their ambition to climb the league.

WHAT’S NEXT FOR FOREST AND LUIZ

After passing his medical and agreeing to personal terms with Nottingham Forest, Luiz is expected to sign a contract until June 2028. Nottingham Forest’s season continues next weekend against Crystal Palace, after a win in their league opener at home to Brentford. Every early game is important. Luiz might make his debut as early as next week. Fans and management hope that Luiz will make an immediate impact. Forest wants to have a safer finish this season.
