Juventus have reportedly informed Douglas Luiz that he is free to leave the club this summer after just one underwhelming season at the Allianz Stadium. The Brazilian midfielder has already attracted interest from Leeds United, Nottingham Forest and even Manchester United amid talk of a potential swap deal with Jadon Sancho.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Luiz joined Juventus from Aston Villa in a €50 million (£43.7m) move last summer but failed to impress. After logging just 516 minutes across 19 Serie A games, the 27-year-old Brazilian midfielder has been told to find a new club. New Bianconeri boss Igor Tudor has no plans to include him in his setup for the upcoming season, as per Calciomercato.
