Douglas Luiz is unhappy at Juventus. The midfielder could return to the Premier League in winter

Midfielder Douglas Louis unhappy in Juventuswhere after going for a lot of money from Aston Villas never became an important player in the lineup and receives little playing time.

According to Italian media reports, the 26-year-old Brazilian visited Birmingham with the team during the week (Aston Villa and Juventus drew 0:0 in the 5th round of the Champions League, Luiz did not take part in the match due to a muscle injury), where he met with former teammates and shared his dissatisfaction.

It was previously reported that the footballer’s agent Kia Jurabchan is already busy looking for employment for his client during the winter transfer window. Juve sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli reportedly took advantage of his latest trip to England to offer Douglas (as well as Nicolo Fagioli) to two giants – Manchester City and Manchester United.

Luiz moved from Vasco da Gama to Man City in 2017 and was immediately loaned to Girona for two years. In 2019, Aston Villa bought the Brazilian’s contract from the Citizens for less than 17 million euros. In the 2023/24 season, Douglas played 53 matches for the Birmingham club in all competitions, scored 10 goals and provided the same number of assists. The successful game brought the Brazilian a transfer for 50 million euros to Juventus and a contract until the summer of 2029.

As part of the Old Lady this season, Louis played nine matches (312 minutes) in all tournaments, without scoring any goals.

Juventus is in 6th place in Serie A, but is only four points behind leaders Napoli. Tomorrow, December 1, Thiago Motta’s team will play away against Lecce.
