Two Premier League clubs line up loan moves for Juventus star Douglas Luiz - as Italian giants reveal transfer stance over former Villa man

Douglas Luiz is a target for Nottingham Forest and Everton but Juventus are reluctant to let the former Aston Villa midfielder leave the club on loan.

The out-of-favour midfielder is expected to be playing his football elsewhere this season after a disappointing maiden campaign in Turin.

Luiz, who has been capped 18 times by Brazil, started just three league matches following his £42.4 million transfer last summer.

Juve would prefer a permanent sale this summer while Forest and the Toffees have been looking at a loan deal, perhaps including an option or obligation to buy.
