Serie A giants Juventus will demand around €30-35 million to part ways with 27-year-old Brazilian international in the summer transfer window.
According to a report by Corriere Torino, as relayed by Sport Witness, Everton, Fulham, and Manchester United are interested in signing Douglas Luiz. The 27-year-old former Aston Villa midfielder has struggled to make his mark at Juventus, and he has no future at the Serie A club. Meanwhile, the Bianconeri will demand around €30-35 million to part ways with Luiz in the summer transfer window.
Douglas Luiz and his Juventus limbo
Douglas Luiz has seen his stock plummet since joining Juventus from Aston Villa last summer. The South American midfielder struggled in the 2024/25 season, with poor form and fitness issues hampering him during his debut campaign.
The 27-year-old has not even managed 1,000 minutes of game time across 27 outings thus far for Juventus. However, Luiz’s stock in the market remains high, and a return to the Premier League may be on the cards. Manchester United, Everton, and Fulham are among the prospective suitors vying for the Aston Villa midfielder’s signature in the summer transfer window.
Premier League return on the horizon?
Manchester United mulled over signing the Brazilian international earlier this year before the deal failed to see the light of day. The continued interest makes sense, considering Casemiro faces an uncertain future at Old Trafford after blowing hot and cold in the last two seasons. So, Luiz has emerged as a viable target for Manchester United despite his struggles at Juventus.
Meanwhile, Everton’s interest in Douglas Luiz is understandable. The Toffees are scouring the market for a midfielder this summer, as Idrissa Gueye has entered the twilight of his career. So, several candidates have emerged on Everton’s radar, with the former Aston Villa midfielder an option worth considering for the Merseyside outfit.
As for Fulham, Andreas Pereira faces an uncertain future at Craven Cottage amid his links with Brazilian clubs. So, the Cottagers are ready to dip their toes in the market for a new midfielder, with Luiz an option worth considering. The Premier League clubs now know how much it will take to sign the Juventus midfielder, with the Bianconeri demanding €30-35 million to part ways with him.
The Serie A club’s asking price of €30-35 million makes sense despite Luiz’s struggles in the 2024/25 season. However, it is unclear if Everton, Fulham, and Manchester United will fork out €30-35 million to sign the 27-year-old Brazilian international, who wants to return to the Premier League.
