According to a report by Italian outlet Calciomercato, Douglas Luiz is the subject of interest from Leeds United. The Whites are keen on reinforcing their midfield unit in the summer transfer window by signing a dynamic midfielder. So, the struggling Juventus outcast has emerged as a target for the West Yorkshire outfit.
The Whites have already approached the South American midfielder’s entourage to discuss a possible summer move. Meanwhile, Luiz has no future at Juventus, as he does not feature in the Serie A club’s plans. Meanwhile, Manchester United may be a dark horse in the battle for his signature.
Douglas Luiz has seen his progress come to a grinding halt since joining Juventus from Aston Villa last summer. The 27-year-old was desperate to move to the Allianz Stadium, but his decision has not paid off thus far. The player did not even manage 1,000 minutes of game time across 27 appearances in all competitions.
Luiz’s struggles mean his spell with Juventus will likely end after only one season, with the Serie A giants ready to cash in on him in the summer transfer window. Meanwhile, the Brazilian midfielder has no shortage of suitors pursuing his signature, with Leeds United among his prospective suitors in the summer transfer window.
Leeds United’s interest in Douglas Luiz is understandable. The Whites are scouring the market for a versatile midfielder coming into the summer transfer window as they aim to sustain the challenge of remaining in the Premier League after winning the 2024/25 EFL Championship title.
So, several midfielders, including Habib Diarra, have emerged on Leeds United’s radar, with Luiz also a viable target. The two parties have already been in contact to discuss a possible move in the summer transfer window. Meanwhile, Manchester United may also be in contention to sign the struggling Juventus midfielder.
With the 27-year-old Brazilian international not in the long-term plans at Juventus, a summer exit is on the cards. It will be interesting to see if Leeds United can convince the former Aston Villa midfielder to move to Elland Road in the summer transfer window.
