Man United are closely watching Douglas Luiz as Juventus look to cash in on the Brazilian midfielder this summer.
Man United Show Renewed Interest in Douglas Luiz
Manchester Utd could be back in the mix to sign Douglas Luiz this summer. Reportedly, Juventus are ready to let him go when the transfer window opens.
The Brazilian had previous spells with Manchester City and Aston Villa. He is likely to be available for as little as £30m. That is much lower than the £42m Juve paid just a year ago. Meanwhile, the midfielder is falling down the pecking order in Italy. He is struggling for regular game time as well. Now, the Serie A club is eager to cut their losses.
Red Devils boss Ruben Amorim is planning a major squad revamp after a poor season. Luiz could bring depth and experience to Utd’s midfield. The 27-year-old was once labelled “world-class” by former teammate John McGinn. He is now being offered to Premier League clubs as Juve prepares for a summer clear-out.
Competition Grows as United Prepare Next Moves
While Utd remain interested, they won’t have it easy to land him. Aston Villa and Nottingham Forest have already shown interest too. Newly-promoted Leeds United are also likely to inquire about the midfielder.
Amorim has recently signed Matheus Cunha for £62.5m. The head coach is still on the hunt for more talent. He sees the Juve player as a possible key addition. The Italian side haven’t confirmed if they’ll allow a loan move. But, a permanent deal seems more likely, especially with the Serie A club keen to rebuild using the funds.
Despite interest from Premier League clubs, Tottenham have ruled themselves out. That makes Utd’s path a bit clearer. With the transfer window fast approaching, United are keeping tabs. They are waiting to see if this deal can help shape their new-look squad.
