Douglas Luiz has eight games to prove himself at Juventus after struggling with injuries and form since joining from Aston Villa. The club is open to selling him, with Nottingham Forest previously interested but hesitant due to his performance. The Brazilian midfielder, now under Igor Tudor, must impress or risk being put up for transfer.
As the Serie A season nears its conclusion, Douglas Luiz faces a critical period to secure his future at Juventus. The Brazilian midfielder, who joined from Aston Villa last summer, has struggled with fitness and form, making little impact in Turin. With only eight games remaining, Juventus expects him to prove his worth or risk being sold in the upcoming transfer window.
Despite his struggles, Luiz has regained fitness and now has a chance to impress under new manager Igor Tudor. Juventus was open to selling him as early as January, with Nottingham Forest showing interest, but the midfielder preferred a move to Manchester United or Manchester City—neither of which materialized.
While Luiz is reportedly content in Turin, he must now deliver on the pitch to extend his stay with the Bianconeri. His performances in the final games of the season will determine whether he remains part of Juventus’ long-term plans or is offloaded in the summer. Given the club’s openness to transfers, a failure to step up could see Luiz’s Serie A stint cut short after just one season.
