A host of Premier League clubs have been linked with Juventus’ Douglas Luiz over the past few months and it seems as if Newcastle United have come forward for the midfielder.
The Brazilian has struggled at Juventus and has missed the majority of the second half due to injury. As a result, he has failed to make a mark under Igor Tudor.
The ex-Aston Villa man has made it clear that he misses playing for the Birmingham club, but it is Newcastle United who are trying to land him.
TuttoSport have reported that clubs in England have always kept an eye on the player.
Manchester United remain in the background for his potential signing but in the meantime, Newcastle United and Nottingham Forest have taken initial steps for his signing.
Previously, there has been talk of Juventus trying to insert Douglas Luiz in a move for Sandro Tonali but considering the Magpies’ potential march towards the Champions League, an exit looks less likely.
Newcastle United could look at Douglas Luiz as a player they can add to their midfield options, rather than a replacement for a current star. There’s the chance of agreeing a good deal with Juventus, and a potential loan has been mentioned on a couple of occasions.
