Liverpool is one of the clubs that has expressed interest in the potential transfer of Juventus central midfielder Douglas Lewis this summer.
Brazil International was able to get back to the Premier League this summer, just a year after joining Aston Villa’s Juve.
Information sources that are familiar with the situation are notified Catch off side Nottingham Forest leads the race for Lewis’ signature, but there has been no agreement so far.
Liverpool also lurks in the background, but others like Tottenham, Everton, Leeds United and West Ham United are also paying attention to the situation.
After the difficult Juventus spell, where is Douglas Lewis next?
It’s a bit surprising that his time with Juventus proved to be extremely difficult, as Lewis was always the top performer of the villa during his club.
The 27-year-old may still be signing to many top English clubs, and there seem to be indications that it will be a player’s preference.
Sources have been confirmed Catch off side Lewis and his representatives declined interest from Fenerbafe. The former villa man appears not keen to move to Türkiye at this stage of his career.
Is Lewis worth gambling for Liverpool?
Liverpool is already having a busy summer and doesn’t see exactly how desperately they need more midfielders.
Arne Slot already has Ryan Gravenberch, Alexis Mac Allister, Curtis Jones, Wataru Endo and others to choose from that area of the pitch.
Still, Luiz might be a good option to add depth if the price can be reduced, as 40 million euros is huge to pay team players.
Tottenham may also do well to bring in Lewis, but they just signed Joan Parghínya with a loan so don’t look like they’re desperately needing options in that position as well.
