Nottingham Forest is close to securing the midfielder, and ongoing talks could also involve the Ivorian defensive midfielder.
Douglas Luiz is on the verge of joining Nottingham Forest. This ongoing transfer dialogue between the English club and Juventus could soon extend to another player. This marks the second attempt by the two clubs to reach an agreement this summer, following an initial failed attempt when Mbangula and Weah declined a move. Douglas Luiz now has a clear opportunity to return to prominence in the Premier League, a league where he is highly regarded for his proven ability to make an impact. For Juventus, his departure is imminent as he struggled to impress in Italy, quickly finding himself on the list of players who failed to meet expectations.
Douglas Luiz Transfer Details
Intermediaries have been actively working on this deal for several days. Nottingham Forest is expected to meet all of the Brazilian midfielder`s demands, fostering strong confidence that an agreement with Juventus will be easily reached. Following the club`s decision to forgive Luiz for his unjustified absence during the initial days of pre-season training, the Bianconeri are now awaiting a formal proposal from his agents to finalize the transfer. Juventus aims to offload at least his annual salary costs. The deal with Nottingham Forest is anticipated to be a loan with an option to buy, which would automatically become an obligation under specific conditions.
Ibrahim Sangaré: A New Target for Juventus
Once Douglas Luiz`s transfer is finalized, Juventus might continue discussions with Nottingham Forest to explore a move for Ibrahim Sangaré. This Ivorian midfielder would likely be placed on Forest`s outgoing list following Luiz`s arrival. The 27-year-old Sangaré also had a less-than-convincing spell at Nottingham Forest and is eager for a fresh start. Juventus is considering him because he aligns with the profile sought by Tudor to add specific missing qualities to their midfield. This presents an excellent opportunity for the club to acquire him at a favorable price and under convenient payment terms. Standing at 1.90 meters, Sangaré, who wears the number 6 shirt, could significantly enhance the midfield`s physical presence and overall playing quality.
