Douglas Luiz is open to the possibility of joining Everton this summer as David Moyes continues to strengthen his midfield options.
The Brazilian midfielder has emerged as a target for the Blues, with reports suggesting he is considering a return to the Premier League after a difficult spell at Juventus.
As we reported yesterday, Everton have already made an enquiry to Juventus over a potential deal for the 28-year-old, with the club assessing whether a move could be possible this summer.
Now, the player’s own stance could prove significant, with Luiz understood to be open to a move back to England.
Everton interest develops
Luiz arrived at Juventus from Aston Villa in 2024 after establishing himself as one of the Premier League’s leading midfielders, but his time in Turin has not gone as planned.
A return to English football has become a possibility, with Juventus open to offers and Everton among the clubs monitoring the situation.
For David Moyes, adding experience and quality in the middle of the pitch remains a priority, and Luiz would bring significant Premier League pedigree after more than 170 appearances in the competition.
Deal still depends on Juventus
While Luiz’s willingness to consider Everton represents a positive development, there is still work to be done before any transfer can happen.
The main hurdle remains reaching an agreement with Juventus over a fee, with the Italian club needing to decide the midfielder’s future.
For now, Everton’s interest has developed from an initial enquiry into a situation worth following closely as the summer window progresses.
More to follow.
