Douglas Luiz's transfer from Aston Villa to Juventus was a high-profile move, but it seems the Bianconeri are now questioning its value and are considering parting ways with the Brazilian midfielder as early as January.
Details: According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Juventus head coach Thiago Motta is reportedly unhappy with Luiz’s attitude in training and does not see him as part of his plans. This has led to speculation that Luiz could be sidelined for an extended period.
Juventus is now exploring options to offload Luiz, either through a loan deal or an exchange. One possibility is a swap involving Manchester United winger Joshua Zirkzee, who has caught the attention of the Turin club.
Reminder: Luiz joined Juventus this summer for €50 million but has struggled to make an impact, playing nine matches without registering a single goal or assist.
