Manchester United Eye Renewed Move for Douglas Luiz as Juventus Signal Openness to Summer Exit
Manchester United may be ready to reignite their pursuit of Douglas Luiz, with GIVEMESPORT sources indicating that Juventus are open to offloading the midfielder when the transfer window reopens next week.
Following a disappointing 2024/25 campaign that ended without silverware or European qualification, United have already moved aggressively in the market, sealing a £62.5 million deal for Matheus Cunha. However, manager Rúben Amorim remains keen to strengthen his squad further.
Brentford’s Bryan Mbeumo is also on United’s radar, with the club preparing a second bid after their first offer was rejected. Meanwhile, Luiz has emerged as another potential addition as the Red Devils gear up for a major rebuild.
Juventus Willing to Sell Luiz at a Discount
GMS sources reveal that Juventus are preparing to make Luiz available for transfer and could accept offers as low as £30 million — a significant drop from the £42 million they paid to sign him from Aston Villa just a year ago. The club is looking to raise funds to invest elsewhere, and Luiz is no longer seen as central to their plans.
Manchester United had previously explored a move for the Brazilian during the winter window but didn’t push through. With Juventus now willing to sell — and possibly entertain a loan if necessary — United are closely monitoring the situation.
Competition Brewing for the Brazil International
While Spurs are not interested in Luiz, other Premier League clubs could challenge United. Aston Villa and Nottingham Forest had shown interest in the past and may revisit their pursuit. Newly promoted Leeds United are also expected to inquire about a possible deal as they seek to reinforce their midfield.
John McGinn once described Luiz as “world-class,” and although his time in Italy hasn’t gone to plan, his Premier League experience and quality make him an appealing option for clubs in England.
Luiz One of Several Juve Stars on United’s Radar
Luiz isn’t the only Juventus player linked with a move to Old Trafford. GMS sources have also reported that Amorim may have the opportunity to sign striker Dusan Vlahović, who is eager to move to the Premier League.
With Juventus looking to reshape their squad and United keen to bolster theirs under Amorim, this summer could see multiple transactions between the two clubs — with Douglas Luiz firmly in the frame.
