Dream over! Douglas Luiz slips through Sporting’s fingers, heads elsewhere | OneFootball

Douglas Luiz has officially switched from Juventus to Nottingham Forest with a mandatory purchase clause of 25 million euros plus bonuses. The midfielder is thus the new addition to Nuno Espírito Santos' team, after just one season at the old lady.

The amount will be paid in four instalments, and the deal could even rise to 30M, subject to the achievement of certain objectives. After standing out with the Aston Villa shirt for five seasons, he strengthened Juventus in 2024/25.

The player was on the list of potential reinforcements for Sporting, if Morten Hjulmand's departure to Juventus was confirmed, a scenario that did not happen. The midfielder has not reported for work since the start of the pre-season and, as in other recent cases, managed a transfer.

It's worth remembering that the Italian team is courting the Danish midfielder with a net salary of 3 million euros per year for a four-season contract. However, Morten Hjulmand remains determined to stay with the green and white team, where he has a contract until 2028 and a termination clause of 80M.

Douglas Luiz was signed by Manchester City in 2017, but never got to play for Pep Guardiola's team. He spent two years on loan at Girona, before transferring to Aston Villa. At the Villans, he played 204 games, scored 22 goals and made 24 assists. In the 24/25 season, for Juventus, the Brazilian participated in 27 games and did not directly contribute to goals.
