• The Brazilian midfielder has agreed personal terms on a multi-year contract in Nottingham and is poised to depart, while Everton and West Ham remain late contenders.
• Luiz’s troubled 2024–25 campaign, marked by injuries, disciplinary fines and a no-show at preseason, strained his relationship with Juventus and accelerated his exit.
