Nottingham Forest Sign Douglas Luiz From Juventus on Loan With Conditional Obligation to Buy

Juventus detail a package worth up to €31.5m that marks a sharp write-down after the midfielder’s limited role in Serie A.

Overview

  • Club statements confirm a season-long loan with a €3m fee and a conditional €25m obligation to buy, payable in four instalments, plus up to €3.5m in bonuses.
  • The obligation is tied to appearances, with reputable reports adding an alternative option to buy for around €30m if the threshold is not met.
  • Juventus accept a sizeable loss compared with the roughly €50m they paid Aston Villa last summer.
  • Luiz struggled for minutes in Turin, making 27 appearances with only three Serie A starts last season.
  • The Brazil international is Forest’s eighth summer addition as Nuno Espírito Santo’s side build depth for a Europa League campaign.
