Amrabat could be key to Douglas Luiz problem at Juventus | OneFootball

Juventus reportedly hope Fenerbahce can pick up Douglas Luiz and solve two problems in one go, handing over Sofyan Amrabat as part of the deal.

The Bianconeri were stunned when the former Aston Villa midfielder did not turn up to pre-season training as expected this week, having given the club no warning, nor a justifiable reason for his absence.

He will be fined and most likely frozen out of the squad, but selling him is going to be tricky, as anything less than €40m would mean making a loss just a year after his ill-fated transfer.

Now Tuttosport suggest that Juventus are hoping Fenerbahce can step in with a proposal, as they could solve two problems in one fell swoop.

This would be both taking Douglas Luiz off their hands, and replacing him with a midfielder far more suited to coach Igor Tudor’s tactics, namely former Fiorentina star Amrabat.

There could even be a third additional bonus, as Fenerbahce might want to bring back Filip Kostic after his loan in Istanbul last season as part of the Amrabat and Douglas Luiz move.

Douglas Luiz currently seems inclined on a return to the Premier League, but while there is some interest from Nottingham Forest and Everton, no firm proposals have yet arrived.

According to the Corriere dello Sport, his entourage informed Juventus he wants to attend their training camp from early next week.
