Forest secures Douglas Luiz as their newest signing
Nottingham Forest have bolstered their squad with the addition of Douglas Luiz on a season-long loan from Italian giants Juventus. The Brazilian midfielder joins a host of new signings at the City Ground, including James McAtee, Omari Hutchinson, Arnaud Kalimuendo, and others, in a move that is set to excite Forest fans.
Douglas Luiz, who has experience playing at the highest level and understands the demands of the Premier League, has had a varied career thus far. Before his loan to Nottingham Forest, he played for Vasco da Gama in Brazil, was signed by Manchester City but did not play for them, instead loaned to Girona for two seasons, and later played for Aston Villa before joining Juventus in a £44.2m (€51.1m) move ahead of the 2024-25 season.
Despite not making a significant impact at Juventus, having played only 19 matches in the league, starting in just three, Douglas Luiz has shown his potential. He has scored 9 times and provided 5 assists in his final league campaign with Aston Villa, although he failed to directly contribute to a goal for Juventus.
Forest's chief football officer, Ross Wilson, is delighted with the signing, stating that Douglas Luiz will bring significant quality to the squad. He joins Nottingham Forest at a time when head coach Nuno Espirito has expressed frustration over the lack of signings this summer. The club has acted swiftly to address this issue, with the loan signing of Douglas Luiz.
Nottingham Forest have a conditional obligation to make the deal permanent next summer, a move that could secure the services of the talented midfielder for a longer period. Everyone at Nottingham Forest is expected to warmly welcome Douglas Luiz as he embarks on this new chapter in his career.
Ross Wilson's optimism is shared by all at the club, as they look forward to seeing Douglas Luiz in action for Nottingham Forest. With his experience playing in elite European competition, the Brazilian midfielder is poised to make a significant impact in the Premier League.
