Douglas Luiz misses Juventus training amid transfer rumours | OneFootball

Juventus midfielder Douglas Luiz has sparked controversy and speculation after failing to report for the club's pre-season training today, as reported by Fabrizio Romano.

The Brazilian midfielder, who joined Juventus just last year from Aston Villa, is now expected to be on his way out, with reports indicating that Premier League sides West Ham and Everton are keen on securing his signature.

Luiz's absence from training is reportedly unexcused, and Juventus are said to be preparing disciplinary action. Though no official statement has been released by the club, the signals point to a breakdown in the relationship between player and management.

With Aston Villa withdrawing from the race to re-sign their former player, the path appears clear for West Ham and Everton to step up negotiations.
