The Brazilian has a very high residual budget cost, it is back from a season on the margins and selling it will be very complicated. What can happen
Forty millions of problems. The tear made by Douglas Luiz, who deserted the gathering last Thursday and will only present himself today, risks putting Juventus back to the wall, with a series of difficulties that could affect the years to come. The question lies all in the residual budget of its purchase cost. And, although it is still early to make predictions, the nightmare scenario for Juventus fans and managers, is that the Brazilian retraces the footsteps of the compatriot Arthur, who still weighs like a boulder on the accounts.
Douglas Luiz, the reasons for the tear
–
Not presenting himself at the gathering, the former Aston Villa midfielder, although already aware that he would leave Turin in the summer, has completely broken with Juve. His gesture was not an attempt to force his hand in a market perspective, but almost a “spite” towards an environment that, in his opinion, did not put him in a position to be able to play his chances. A little bit of a practical demonstration of the outburst posted on social media at the end of April: “I’m not in shape? I played the whole pre -hexon and I played every game. I had just had one of the best seasons of my career, one of the best midfielders of the Premier League – he had blurted out Douglas Luiz on Instagram -. The injuries hindered me, yes. But how long I remained on the bench while I was in health? Accidents were not normal.
Juve, Premier and Fenerbahce on Douglas Luiz

The green -gold midfielder, therefore, now from the words he has moved on to the facts, even if he is today he should reappear at Continassa in the company of his agents. In the next few days, according to what they say in Türkiye, the DS of Fenerbahce, Devin Ozek, would also be arriving in Italy, to start a negotiation with the bianconeri on the basis of a loan with the right of redemption. Yes, because if first Juventus had to return to the figure for which Douglas Luiz is still in the balance sheet (39 million) with a burdensome transfer temporary (10) and an obligation to redeem (30), now it will be more difficult to convince the suitors. On the Brazilian there are always interests also from the Premier League (especially Everton, West Ham and Nottingham Forest, in the last few hours there are also rumors about Manchester United), but those who would welcome an investment of 40 million (and 5 million net engagement) for a player who in the last season has played just 6 games as a starter, 877 minutes, he has not scored a goal or a goal and has an assist and has a goal. Do you also demonstrate that you are difficult to manage off the pitch?
Juve-Doiglas Luiz: how will it end?

It is easier, therefore, that Juve, in the end, must be content to get rid of the Brazilian’s hidden for this year, with a dry loan or, at most, with the right of redemption, referring the problem to the end of the next, in the hope that the player will re -evaluate and convince his new club to focus definitively on him. What happened with Arthur, who for three seasons has been gone through the loan of loan on loan, but then every summer returns to be part of that share of redundancies that blocks the market. From Arthur to Douaughs, from one Brazilian to another, the problems for Juve are always there: then there were 72 million, now there are about half. But the nightmare remains the same.
