According to Turin Sports, Juventus midfielder Douglas Luis has agreed to join Nottingham Forest, and the two clubs have a good relationship.
Juventus has been hoping to sell Douglas Louis this summer, and Nottingham Forest is ready to bring the players back to the Premier League. Nottingham Forest's first choice for midfield signing this summer is Douglas Louis, and coach Nuno Santo clearly requests to sign him. Nottingham Forest is in contact with Juventus, the Juventus club's asking price is at least 40 million euros, while Nottingham Forest hopes to cut the price to 33 million to 34 million euros and rent it first and then buy it.
Douglas Louis's agent has reached a principle agreement with Nottingham Forest on a new contract. After joining Nottingham Forest, the player will sign until June 2030, with an annual salary of 5 million euros and bonuses, which is higher than Douglas Louis's income when he was at Juventus. Although Fenerbahce is also interested in Douglas Luis, players still prioritize returning to the Premier League arena they are familiar with.
Currently, Juventus and Nottingham Forest are still negotiating on the transaction method. Juventus hopes to sell players completely, at least to strengthen the purchase price on loan. Nottingham Forest hopes that there is a condition to buy out. If Nottingham Forest obtains European qualification in the new season, it will forcefully buy out Douglas Louis. Considering that Nottingham Forest ranked seventh in the Premier League last season and qualified for the European Union, this buyout condition is not impossible to trigger.
Another Premier League team, Everton, is also interested in Douglas Louis and is willing to spend a budget of 35 million euros to introduce him. However, compared to Nottingham Forest, Everton is currently not attractive to Douglas Louis.
It is worth mentioning that Nottingham Forest Director Edu and Douglas Louis's agent Horabchin have a good relationship, and Edu offered 40 million euros two years ago to try to sign Douglas Louis for Arsenal. In addition, Juventus' new technical director Modesto has served as director of the Olympiacos Club in the past, and the two clubs, Olympiacos and Nottingham Forest, belong to the Greek ship king Marinakis. Marinakis had previously invited Modesto to work at Nottingham Forest. It can be said that the relationship between the top leaders of the two clubs is also very good. These all contribute to Douglas Louis' transfer negotiations.
