Juventus Send Douglas Luiz to Nottingham Forest on Loan With Conditional €25m Purchase
The deal signals a financial reset for Juventus after last summer’s €50m outlay on the midfielder.
Overview
- Nottingham Forest confirmed a season-long loan with a clause that can become an obligation to buy next summer.
- Juventus disclosed a €3m loan fee, €25m payable over four financial years if the move becomes permanent, and up to €3.5m in bonuses.
- Club accounting analysis cited by Football Italia indicates a potential €4.2m loss on the 2025–26 balance sheet if the sale finalizes in June 2026.
- Luiz, 27, struggled for opportunities at Juventus with only three Serie A starts in 2025–26 and 27 total appearances without a goal contribution.
- Both clubs announced the agreement late Thursday, and Juventus posted a two-word farewell reading “Obrigado Dougie.”
