Man City signing No 4 moves closer as Juventus star ‘wants transfer’; Nott’m Forest enter race

Manchester City are edging closer to the signing of Juventus star Douglas Luiz as the Brazilian ‘wants’ the transfer, though Nottingham Forest have reportedly entered the frame. Man City are on the lookout for a new defensive midfielder who can help them in the second half of the season until Rodri recovers from his ACL injury.

City have not been their usual imperious selves without Rodri, having fallen out of the Premier League title race and also put themselves at risk of being knocked out of the Champions League.

Even while Mateo Kovacic and Bernardo Silva are extremely skilled midfielders, they are unable to offer the City defense the same level of protection that Rodri does.

City is considering a deal to re-sign Luiz, who might leave Juventus after only six months in Turin, in order to cover this void.

The 26-year-old Luiz “wants a transfer” return to the Etihad, according to Brazilian site Bolavip, which has encouraged City to sign him.

City officials now have the task of negotiating an agreement with their Juventus counterparts.

Negotiations will undoubtedly be necessary because City wants a direct loan while Juventus wants a sale or a loan with a buyout clause.

In a surprising turn of events, Pep Guardiola’s team will have to keep an eye out for Forest, a Premier League powerhouse, in this specific transfer window.

According to the article, Luiz is also amenable to moving to the City Ground after being wowed by Forest’s incredible play under Nuno Espirito Santo.

Furthermore, it is said that Forest is “willing to make a large investment” to recruit the Brazil star, indicating that they are more amenable to a long-term deal than City.
