The Italian giants are willing to sell the Brazilian, who has not delivered at the expected level.
Last summer, Juventus signed Douglas Luiz for €51.5 million from Aston Villa in what was the biggest “couple transfer” of all time – Swiss Alisha Lehmann, his boyfriend, also made the trip to Turin.

Douglas Luiz may be in his last days as a Juventus player. The Brazilian midfielder, who has not established himself in the “La Vecchia Signora” squad since arriving in the summer of 2023, is now on the transfer list. According to sources from Turin, the club has put a price tag of between €30 million and €35 million on him, given that several English clubs are monitoring his situation closely.
Manchester United in the driver’s seat
Rai 1 reports that Manchester United are leading the hunt for Luiz. At Old Trafford, they are looking to revamp their midfield due to the uncertainty surrounding Casemiro, and Luiz – with solid Premier League experience at Aston Villa – is seen as a strong option.

Everton are also interested, partly because they need a replacement for Idrissa Gueye, whose departure seems immediate. Fulham, meanwhile, are considering the Brazilian as a top pick if Andreas Pereira leaves the club.
Juventus wants sale
The 27-year-old still has significant market value, despite a modest season in Italy. His experience in England makes him an attractive target for Premier League clubs. Luiz played just over 900 minutes in 27 games for Juventus, hampered by injuries and inconsistent form, which has led the club to consider offers.
Time in Italy over?
In Turin, it is considered clear that Luiz does not fit into the club’s future plans. Now it is up to English clubs to decide whether they are willing to pay over €30 million for a player who, despite a fluctuating season, has already proven his class in one of the world’s toughest leagues.
The decision now rests with the Premier League clubs – will they take the chance of a revival of Luiz’s career in England?
