Juventus midfielder Douglas Luiz was linked to a distance from the club at the end of the season.
According to a tuttosport report via Sport Witness, Manchester United and Newcastle United keep an eye on the player. The report says Newcastle has already taken the first measures to sign the player.
It will be interesting to see if they can conclude the agreement.
Newcastle needs Douglas Luiz
They must bring in another quality midfielder to complete their midfielder unit, and Luiz would be a superb acquisition. He has proven himself at Aston Villa in the past. He will add defensive coverage, control and creativity to the side. He could form a solid partnership with Bruno Guimaraes and Sandro Tonali at the heart of the Newcastle midfielder next season.
Newcastle puts pressure on qualification in the Champions League, and they could also be an attractive destination for the player. Meanwhile, Juventus wishes to sign Sandro Tonali, and it remains to be seen if the two clubs can conclude an agreement that benefits both.
Man United in the race too
Meanwhile, Manchester United hides in the background for the player, and it will be interesting to see if they decide to manifest and sign it. They need more quality and technical capacity in the middle of the park, and Luiz would be a quality acquisition for them.
The opportunity to play in the Premier League will be very exciting for the player. He played his best football in England, and he will be tempted to come back if there is a convincing proposal on the table.
Manchester United and Newcastle have the finances to conclude the agreement, and it remains to be seen which of the two clubs manages to obtain an agreement with the Italian club.
The 27 -year -old Brazilian midfielder fought for regular time at the Italian club this season and convinced him to leave. Juventus will not be difficult for English clubs.
