Everton rival Fulham, Manchester United in Douglas Luiz chase, make approach

Everton, Fulham, and Manchester United are interested in signing Brazilian midfielder Douglas Luiz during the summer window.

According to a report from TEAMtalk, Everton, Fulham, and Manchester United are in the race to sign Juventus midfielder Douglas Luiz. The Serie A outfit are prepared to let him leave this summer. He is not considered a key player for them, and they are looking to cash in.

The midfielder is valued at €25 million, and all three Premier League clubs certainly have the financial resources to get the deal done. It will be interesting to see if they can bring him back to England. Luiz played his best football at Aston Villa, and returning to England appeals to him. It remains to be seen how the situation develops.

Douglas Luiz has not been able to hit top form since moving to Italy last summer. He will look to get back to his best and re-establish himself as a key player for both club and country in the 2025/26 season. With the World Cup coming up next year, he needs to play regularly at a high level.

Meanwhile, Everton and Fulham will aim to push for a top-half finish next season. They need more quality in the squad to perform consistently. There is no doubt they have talented players at their disposal, but greater squad depth is required to take the next step. The Brazilian would add control, composure, and defensive cover to any side. He would certainly help both teams improve if he were to join them.

Manchester United need Luiz

On the other hand, Manchester United also need a quality midfielder, and recent reports have linked them with Douglas Luiz. Casemiro has been quite underwhelming, and the Red Devils should consider replacing him.

Signing his compatriot as an alternative could be a wise decision. Luiz is still very much at the peak of his powers, and he would look to hit the ground running at Old Trafford. The opportunity to join a big club like Manchester United would be an exciting prospect for him. It will be interesting to see which of the three English clubs manages to secure an agreement with Juventus.
