Douglas Luiz Set for Juventus Exit as Premier League Clubs Line Up

Douglas Luiz looks set to leave Juventus after just one season. Several Premier League clubs are interested in signing the Brazilian midfielder this summer.

HOW DID IT COME TO THIS?

Douglas Luiz joined Juventus only a year ago from Aston Villa. He came with high expectations after helping them qualify for the Champions League. But his time in Turin has been disappointing. Luiz struggled to adapt to Serie A. Both tactically and physically, he rarely made Juventus’s starting lineup under Thiago Motta and Ivan Tudor. Injuries and off-field issues limited him further, with Luiz failing to register a single goal or assist last season.

Juventus finished fourth in Serie A, 16 points behind champions Napoli, missing out on the title race for another year. Juventus plan to overhaul their midfield, and Luiz has been told he may now find a new club.

A previous report confirmed that Juventus finished fourth in Serie A last season.

PREMIER LEAGUE INTEREST GROWS

Interest in Douglas Luiz is strong from England. Wolves, Burnley, Everton, and Fulham have all made formal inquiries about him. Manchester United are also keeping tabs on the situation, looking at adding a dynamic midfielder to their squad. They have not yet submitted a formal offer yet.

Juventus want to avoid a capital loss on Luiz. They are believed to be seeking at least 40 million for him, after paying 50 million for him just last summer. Despite rumors, there have been no talks or contacts with Serie A newcomers Como, who finished 10th last season and are building an ambitious squad after their return to the top flight.

WHAT’S NEXT FOR JUVENTUS AND LUIZ?

As Juventus aim to reshape their squad, a Luiz departure seems likely in the coming weeks. The club is preparing for a busy summer transfer window as they look to close the gap with Inter and AC Milan. Juventus will start their 2025-26 campaign in August against Lazio, who finished fifth last season.

Premier League clubs are likely to step up their efforts to sign Luiz, who could return to a league where he has previously flourished. For Juventus, finalizing his sale is crucial to free up money to fund further signings as they rebuild their midfield for the challenges that lie ahead.

According to a previous report, Juventus aims to compete on all fronts under coach Ivan Tudor this season.
