Overview
- Juventus and Nottingham Forest are still negotiating a loan move for Douglas Luiz as of August 5, with talks centering on the structure of a future purchase agreement.
- Juventus demands an obligation-to-buy clause, whereas Forest prefer an option-to-buy contingent on appearances and results.
- A reported €10 million valuation gap persists between Juventus’ €40 million valuation and Forest’s €30 million offer.
- Juventus has warned it will retain Luiz and explore other transfer avenues if Forest cannot meet its conditions.
- Luiz’s injury-marred debut season in Turin, which produced just three Serie A starts, has heightened Forest’s insistence on conditional purchase terms.
