Juventus have made a statement on Douglas Luiz’s transfer to Nottingham Forest, detailing the figures in the deal between the two clubs.
The Brazilian joins the Reds on loan for the season from the Serie A club, with a conditional obligation to buy the 27-year-old next summer.
A statement from Juventus read: “Juventus Football Club S.p.A. announces that an agreement with Nottingham Forest FC for the temporary disposal, until 30 June 2026, of the registration rights of the player Douglas Luiz Soares de Paulo has been reached for a consideration of € 3 million.
“The agreement further entails the obligation for Nottingham Forest to acquire the player’s registration rights on a permanent basis upon the occurrence of certain conditions during the 2025/2026 football season.
“The agreed fee for the potential definitive disposal is € 25 million, payable over four financial years; this amount may be increased, during the term of the player’s employment contract, by up to € 3.5 million upon the achievement of specific sporting objectives.”
Luiz said: “I am really happy to be here, it’s a big club and I decided to come here because I can see the ambition the club has.
“I am so excited to start with the team and give my best for the shirt and the fans.”
Forest’s chief football officer, Ross Wilson, said: “It’s been a very busy but successful period for us in the window in the past few weeks, and Douglas is another addition to the squad that will bring significant quality to the group.
“He’s played at the highest level for a long time, understands the demands of the Premier League, and has experience playing in elite European competition.
“We’re delighted that Douglas now joins the group, and we are sure that he will be warmly welcomed by everyone at Nottingham Forest."
