Juventus have made a decisive move regarding Douglas Luiz, informing the Brazilian midfielder that he is no longer part of their plans and should seek a new club this summer. IlBianconero report how, signed just a year ago from Aston Villa for a total of €50 million and contracted until 2029, Luiz’s time in Turin has been marked by injuries, tactical struggles, and limited impact on the pitch. He found himself on the fringes of the squad under both Thiago Motta and Igor Tudor, making only a handful of starts and failing to register a goal or assist.
The club’s decision, while not a formal dismissal, is a clear message that Luiz will not be given another chance to prove himself at Juventus next season. For Luiz, this could be a positive development, offering him the opportunity to revive his career elsewhere and increase his chances of returning to the Brazilian national team ahead of the 2026 World Cup.
Interest in Luiz is already emerging from the Premier League, where he previously impressed with Aston Villa. Everton and Fulham have made inquiries with both the player’s representatives and Juventus, while Manchester United are also monitoring the situation. United, in particular, could become a key player in the transfer market, as Juventus are interested in a potential swap deal involving Jadon Sancho. Such a move would suit both clubs’ needs and could accelerate Luiz’s departure from Italy.
