On Tuesday, we covered a report from Italy which explained Evangelos Marinakis had personally become involved in the Douglas Luiz saga, as he tried to get the midfielder to Nottingham Forest.
Marinakis was said to have spoken to Juventus sporting director Damien Comolli, and the chat between the pair helped push the situation further along after an incredibly frustrating few weeks.
Then on Wednesday morning, it was reported the Brazilian could even travel to England and have a medical this week, and that now looks likely. Of course, this is the Douglas Luiz saga so it could collapse at any moment, but there’s confidence Nottingham Forest have finally clinched it.
Gazzetta dello Sport report the midfielder is leaving Juventus for Nottingham Forest on loan with an obligation to buy set at €30-40m.
Calciomercato have it as a loan with €30-35m obligation.
Corriere della Sera have it as an obligation worth €30m plus bonuses.
Turin newspaper Tuttosport report Nottingham Forest will be paying an obligation clause worth ‘just over €30m’.
