According to Turin Sports, Douglas Louis is close to joining Nottingham Forest.
Douglas Louis's deal to join Nottingham Forest is no longer discussing the amount, but discussing what details are left yet.
Currently, this transfer is one of Juventus' most focused deals. Yesterday, the two sides contacted again, completely pushing the transfer into the final stage. Nottingham Forest owner Marinakis personally came to communicate with Juventus General Manager Komoli. The purpose of this communication is to finally finalize the negotiations that have achieved initial results through information and quotation exchanges in recent times.
Although Tudor once tried to retain Douglas Louis, and even tried to arrange a new position for him, neither the club nor the player himself really considered the possibility of staying. Douglas Louis always maintains a low-key attitude and has a good relationship with the coaching staff and teammates, but he always feels that he has not received enough recognition in Italy. Especially when he didn't play much during the Club World Cup, he felt in great shape and was eager to get more playing time, which eventually made him realize that if he wanted to restart his career, especially during the World Cup season, he would have to transfer.
Douglas Louis's only choice is to leave, and the ideal place is naturally the Premier League that really made him famous. Because of this, when the transfer window opened, Nottingham Forest and Everton immediately launched a test to understand the feasibility and space of the deal. Throughout the process, Juventus' attitude was always very clear: in order to avoid asset depreciation, they hope to obtain a transfer fee of nearly €40 million and always remain flexible in the form of transfers. Lease is also acceptable, but it needs to be accompanied by a forced buyout clause.
In any case, Marinakis' recent conversation with Comoli is already discussing the specific form of the transaction and how it will be completed smoothly.
Even though the team changed the head coach midway, Douglas Luis and Juventus never really understood each other. Now it seems that both sides have not really tried to reach an understanding.
For head coach Tudor, although he also emphasized Douglas Louis' outstanding ability at a technical level at the latest press conference, his departure was not considered a major loss. Tudor's vision of the midfield has always been very clear and has not changed yet: what he wants is a player who is completely different from Douglas Louis.
Of course, Douglas Louis has a delicate footwork, but Tudor’s primary focus is on running ability and vitality, and Brighton midfielder O’Reilly is this type of player.
