Douglas Luiz wants Premier League return as Juventus exit looms

Juventus misfit Douglas Luiz is reportedly eager to return to the Premier League in the summer transfer window amid his links with Manchester United, Fulham, and Tottenham.

According to a report by Graeme Bailey on TBR Football, Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur, and Fulham are interested in signing Douglas Luiz. The Juventus midfielder is keen on leaving the Serie A club and returning to the Premier League in the summer transfer window, with the Bianconeri ready to part ways with the Brazilian international in the coming weeks.

Douglas Luiz and his problems

Douglas Luiz endured a nightmare since joining Juventus from Aston Villa in a deal worth £42 million last summer. The South American midfielder has barely made his mark thus far for the Serie A club, with poor form and fitness issues blighting his 2024/25 campaign.

The Brazilian international has not even managed 1,000 minutes of game time across 27 outings thus far for Juventus. However, Luiz’s stock in the market is high, and a return to the Premier League may be on the cards. Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur, and Fulham are keen on signing the former Aston Villa midfielder in the summer transfer window.

A man in demand

The 27-year-old midfielder recently emerged as a target for Manchester United. The interest is understandable amid uncertainties surrounding Casemiro’s long-term future. With the former Real Madrid midfielder approaching the twilight of his career, his compatriot has emerged as a viable target. Meanwhile, recent reports have claimed that Luiz may be part of an exchange deal involving Manchester United flop Jadon Sancho.

Meanwhile, Douglas Luiz has been on Tottenham Hotspur’s radar since the winter transfer window. The continued interest makes sense, considering Yves Bissouma faces an uncertain future at the North London club. So, Tottenham must replace the Malian international, with Luiz being an option worth considering.

As for Fulham, Andreas Pereira faces an uncertain future at Craven Cottage, forcing the West London club to pursue a potential replacement. So, Luiz is a viable target for Fulham. Meanwhile, the former Aston Villa midfielder is keen on returning to the Premier League amid uncertainties surrounding his long-term future at Juventus.

Meanwhile, the Bianconeri will hope to recoup as much of the £42 million they paid to secure his services last summer. It will be interesting to see where the 27-year-old Brazilian international plies his trade next season amid his links with Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur, and Fulham.
