Club to target young Manchester City Brazilian, player has been sounded out

Fotomac claim Fenerbahce are interested in signing Manchester City midfielder Douglas Luiz.

After completing his loan spell with Girona, the Brazilian midfielder has now returned to Manchester City, but Fotomac say it’s likely he will again go out on a temporary basis next season, with Fenerbahce said to be seriously interested.

The Turkish side have reportedly sounded out both the player and his club, and Fotomac claim they will make an official offer if both sides are keen on a possible transfer.

Fenerbahce were linked with a move for Luiz last summer but the player ended up at Girona as Pep Guardiola reportedly wanted him to play in La Liga.

In 2017, the 21 year old cost Manchester City €12m when they signed him from Vasco da Gama. However, it’s unlikely he will break into the first team next season and another loan is therefore possible.

There’s also been issues over a work permit.

Luiz is under contract with the Premier League champions until June 2022.
