Douglas Luiz told by Juventus that he'll be sold amid talk of Premier League return as €40m Sporting CP star lined up as replacement

Juventus

<p>According to transfer insider Matteo Moretto,<a href="https://www.ilbianconero.com/a/juventus-hjulmand-ultime-notizie-86328" target="_blank"><em></em></a> Juve have informed Luiz that they are open to letting him go just a year after signing him from Aston Villa for £42 million (€49m/$53m), the club are already assessing potential replacements.</p><p>Top of the list is Hjulmand, the former Lecce midfielder who now shines at Sporting CP. Juve have initiated contact for a possible return to Serie A, but Sporting are demanding around €40m (£33m/$46m) to sanction a sale. </p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Luiz’s short stint in Turin may soon be over as new coach Igor Tudor reshapes the squad with his own tactical vision. Juventus are focusing on intensity, physicality, and dynamism in midfield, qualities Tudor doesn’t seem to associate with the Brazilian international.</p><p>The 27-year-old midfielder could leave permanently or on loan, with several clubs interested in snapping him up. Reports even suggest <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-in/lists/juventus-three-stars-man-utd-swap-deal-jadon-sancho-usmnt-ace-tim-weah-douglas-luiz/blt48b8a7eabc795794" target="_blank">Juventus may explore a swap deal</a>, possibly involving Manchester United.</p><p>Luiz’s early exit reflects Juve’s aggressive approach in the market as they seek to restore control in midfield following an underwhelming 2024–25 campaign.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Luiz started just three of the 19 Serie A matches in which he features, failing to register a goal or assist during. His Juve contract expires in June 2029. Meanwhile, Hjulmand has excelled at Sporting since joining in 2023, and is of the profile Tudor wants in his team.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>If concrete bids arrive for Luiz, expect Bianconeri to intensify negotiations for Hjulmand, who’s seen as a tailor-made fit for Tudor’s system. Sporting won’t let the Dane go cheaply, but Juve could act swiftly to avoid a bidding war. </p>
