Manchester City are ready to sign Douglas Luiz on loan this month, as any move will depend on Juventus’ stance on the Brazilian midfielder.
According to Football Insider, Manchester City are willing to bring Douglas Luiz back to the club on loan this month. Pep Guardiola’s side are strongly linked with the midfielder, who seems unhappy at Juventus, as any decision to let him leave will depend on the Serie A giants’ stance.
Manchester City were expected to enter the January window with the clear intention of buying a new midfielder. The early season injury to Rodri has rendered them short of options and ideas in the middle of the park, with the Spaniard’s absence coinciding with an abject run of form for the reigning Premier League champions.
While finding a replacement for Rodri appeared imperative, Manchester City have signed three players in this window, including defenders Abdukodir Khusanov and Vitor Reis and attacker Omar Marmoush, who will be announced very soon by the club.
In recent days following their successful conclusion on those signings as mentioned above, Manchester City have looked at Douglas Luiz as a midfield option before the window shuts. The Brazilian, who was part of the club until 2029 before signing for Aston Villa, has immense experience in the Premier League and might make an impact in this team under Guardiola.
Manchester City have reportedly made an enquiry for the midfielder, with Luiz seemingly open to re-joining his old club. However, Guardiola’s side are only keen on signing him on a loan move, and there’s no clarity whether they are willing to add a buy option or obligation to the agreement.
Juventus’ stance is important in Douglas Luiz’s move
Having only signed Luiz in the summer, the 26-year-old has not had the expected impact on Thiago Motta’s side. There’s sufficient interest from England and he’s keen on the move as the Premier League probably suits him more, and he will undoubtedly fit into Manchester City’s plans.
Juventus are open to letting him leave permanently, although to let him exit on a loan move, the Bianconeri will at least demand a buy obligation in the agreement. Whether Manchester City are willing to offer that remains to be seen, as this deal could stretch well into the final days of the window.
