Brazilian midfielder Douglas Luiz, currently at Juventus, has attracted transfer interest from several Premier League clubs, with Liverpool among those monitoring his situation closely. Luiz, 27, struggled during his first season in Italy after joining Juventus from Aston Villa for about €40 million, and is now available for a similar price. Nottingham Forest appears to be leading the pursuit for Luiz’s signature, with Everton, Tottenham, Leeds United, and West Ham also reportedly interested. However, neither Forest nor these clubs have finalized any agreements yet.

Luiz was a standout performer at Aston Villa and has yet to fully replicate that form at Juventus, making his next move uncertain. Reports suggest that Luiz and his representatives have declined offers from Turkish side Fenerbahce, indicating a preference to stay in the Premier League. Everton’s manager, David Moyes, is particularly keen on signing Luiz, seeing him as an essential addition to the squad, with Everton potentially open to a loan with obligation to buy, although Juventus prefers an obligation clause.

Liverpool’s interest is considered more cautious since they have already strengthened their midfield this summer with signings like Ryan Gravenberch, Alexis Mac Allister, Curtis Jones, and Wataru Endo. A further investment of €40 million might be viewed as steep for a squad player, but Luiz could provide valuable depth if his price comes down. Meanwhile, Tottenham, despite recently loan-signing Joao Palhinha, and other Premier League clubs are also tracking the situation.

Adding to the drama, Luiz reportedly went AWOL from Juventus training amid this transfer speculation, fueling rumors of his eagerness to leave. Nottingham Forest are reportedly close to agreeing a five-year contract with Luiz, which could mark a major coup for the club, especially with their European ambitions. This adds complexity to a transfer race that appears wide open, with Luiz seeming inclined to return to England where he has previously excelled.
