Douglas Luiz, the Brazilian midfielder who joined Juventus from Aston Villa last summer for a reported fee of €50 million, is attracting interest from several Premier League clubs due to limited playing time in Turin.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Nottingham Forest, currently second in the Premier League under manager Nuno Espirito Santo, are reportedly keen to bolster their midfield options and have identified Luiz as a potential target.
Luiz has struggled to secure a regular spot in Juventus’ starting lineup under coach Thiago Motta, making only nine Serie A appearances this season.
This lack of game time has led to speculation about a possible return to the Premier League, where he previously made 175 league appearances for Aston Villa.

In addition to Nottingham Forest, other Premier League clubs, including Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal, have been linked with Luiz.
Reports suggest that Tottenham and Arsenal are monitoring his situation, while Fulham has reportedly contacted his agent, Kia Joorabchian, expressing interest in acquiring his services.
Juventus is reportedly open to considering offers for Luiz, preferably a permanent transfer that would allow them to recoup their investment.
The club is unlikely to entertain loan deals, focusing instead on securing a deal that aligns with their financial and squad-building strategies.
The situation surrounding Douglas Luiz is expected to develop further. Clubs seeking to strengthen their midfield options may view Luiz’s Premier League experience and availability as an attractive proposition.
