Douglas Luiz’s torrid spell at Juventus is likely to end this summer and Everton have emerged as a potential destination.
Last season, the Brazilian played only 19 Serie A games for the Bianconeri and struggled to fit in tactically under Igor Tudor and Thiago Motta. He also dealt with multiple fitness issues and the media presented him as a flop after just a few weeks.
Gazzetta dello Sport report the midfielder is unlikely to stay in Turin and the Premier League is a key destination.
Everton are said to have asked for information and so have Fulham and Manchester United. There’s been ‘no concrete offers’ yet, and the Toffees have gone no further than an initial step.
Douglas Luiz and Juventus are open to a move and there’s agents on the case trying to build a deal and take some commission, that’s partly why half the Premier League have been linked already.
Juventus manager Tudor doesn’t see the player as an important part of his side and is happy to sell him, having not used him much during the FIFA Club World Cup.
There is no indication on how much Everton, Fulham or Manchester United would have to pay to sign Douglas Luiz, who joined the Bianconeri from Aston Villa last summer for a fee which had the potential to reach €50m.
