Douglas Luiz ready to leave Juventus in the January 2025 transfer market? The hypothesis is proposed by Sky Sports, which promises the return of the Brazilian midfielder to the Premier League. Juve purchased the 26-year-old Douglas Luiz in the summer from Aston Villa, as part of the negotiation that led the Bianconeri to sell Enzo Barrenechea and Samuel Iling Jr. Aston Villa loaned both youngsters: Barrenechea to Valencia, Iling jr at Bologna.
Now, Douglas Luiz could also change shirt. Two Premier League clubs are interested in the green and gold and, according to Sky Sports, Juventus would consider selling him on an expensive loan. In the first part of the season, also conditioned by repeated physical problems, Douglas Luiz played the supporting role. Few appearances which at the moment are remembered more for the penalties awarded (against Cagliari and Leipzig) than for the contribution to the Juventus cause. The Brazilian showed off his qualities but in 5 months he has failed to make his mark.
Juventus fans, judging by the posts on X, expect other operations from Cristiano Giuntoli, number 1 in the club’s sporting area. The squad available to coach Thiago Motta has obvious gaps: 2 defenders are missing after the injuries of Bremer and Cabal, also considering the purge of Danilo, now out of the project. The midfield is currently the only department that doesn’t need additions on a numerical level. In attack the situation has been red alert since the start of the season. With Milik out for 6 months and Gonzalez on alternate current, Vlahovic is the only permanent striker available in a team that should compete in the championship, Italian Cup and Champions League.
