On Monday, TuttoSport were confident Nottingham Forest’s move for Juventus’ Douglas Luiz could soon reach a key point.
They reported the Old Lady were trying to earn €40m from the deal, so they don’t have to record an accounting loss.
Alfredo Pedulla now reports Nottingham Forest are at a vital point in talks and a complete agreement between the clubs could even be reached on Tuesday. Nuno Espirito Santo’s side will have a call with the Bianconeri today and this discussion will be directed by the 27-year-old midfielder’s agent Kia Joorabchian.
Juve remain clear about their €40m demand and even if there is interest from elsewhere, it’s believed Nottingham Forest are in the lead for the Brazilian.
Evangelos Marinakis’ club are trying to execute an initial loan deal with the option to buy but it can become an obligation if certain conditions are met.
Today’s Corriere dello Sport adds more information and claims that so far, Nottingham Forest have only offered €30m to €35m as an option. The Italian newspaper reports significant moves are underway and they also sound optimistic.
