Nottingham Forest have opened talks with Juventus over a potential move for midfielder Douglas Luiz, advancing interest from England in a player who left the Premier League only last summer. Sky Sports News has reported that two other Premier League clubs have also submitted bids for the Brazilian.<\/p>\n
Luiz, 27, joined Juventus from Aston Villa last summer in a deal worth around \u20ac50 million (\u00a342m). His first season in Italy has been interrupted, and he has struggled for regular game time in Serie A, making only a handful of starts due to injuries and competition for places.<\/p>\n
Before his move to Juventus, Luiz made over 150 appearances for Aston Villa, where he had established himself as a consistent midfielder in the English top flight. That record partly explains why several Premier League sides are keen to bring him back to England and why multiple bids have emerged.<\/p>\n
For Nottingham Forest, the opening of talks represents a clear attempt to strengthen midfield options with a player familiar with the Premier League. Should a deal be reached, Luiz would be returning to a competition where he has significant experience and where first-team opportunities are likely to be a priority.<\/p>\n
A return to the Premier League would also present Luiz with an opportunity to revive his career and secure regular first-team football ahead of the 2026 World Cup. Juventus face decisions over a player they acquired for a sizeable fee last year, and the reported interest from England underlines the demand for his profile in the current market.<\/p>\n
The situation will be watched closely by clubs that have already lodged offers and by supporters tracking whether Luiz can re-establish himself in the English game.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
