Juventus midfielder Douglas Luiz is generating interest from several Premier League clubs as he faces a challenging season in Italy. After joining Juventus for €50 million last summer, Luiz has struggled to secure a regular starting position, making only 13 appearances and logging just over 350 minutes of play. This lack of playing time has led to speculation about his future, with a potential return to the Premier League on the horizon.
Nottingham Forest, currently enjoying a remarkable season and sitting third in the Premier League table, are reportedly keen on bringing Luiz back to England. The club has been on a winning streak, having secured five consecutive victories, including notable wins against Manchester United and Tottenham. With ambitions of qualifying for European competitions next season, Forest is looking to strengthen its squad during the January transfer window.
The Daily Mail has indicated that Nottingham Forest has made inquiries regarding a loan deal for Luiz. This move could provide the midfielder with much-needed game time while helping Forest bolster their midfield options. However, they are not alone in their pursuit; Tottenham Hotspur and Fulham are also monitoring the situation closely, recognizing Luiz’s previous success in the Premier League with Aston Villa.
Luiz’s time at Aston Villa was marked by impressive performances, where he scored 10 goals and provided 10 assists in his last season there. His experience and skills make him an attractive option for clubs looking to enhance their midfield depth. Given that he has yet to make a significant impact at Juventus under coach Thiago Motta, a loan move could be beneficial for all parties involved.
