According to the "Milan Sports" report, Juventus sold Douglas Luis to free up 9.25 million euros of salary space and will be provided to Muani.
Juventus has finalized the transaction to lease Douglas Louis to Nottingham Forest. The lease contract contains conditional mandatory buyout terms, with a total transfer amount of approximately 30 million to 35 million euros including bonuses.
Whether the buyout clause of this deal is forced to be activated is likely to be linked to Douglas Louis's appearances in Nottingham Forest. The 27-year-old Brazilian player made 27 appearances for Juventus in various competitions last season, without any goals or assists, and missed 18 games due to injury. Before joining Juventus, he played 212 games for Aston Villa from 2019 to 2024, scoring 22 goals and contributing 24 assists, with a clear gap.
The deal may cause losses to Juventus on the books, as Douglas Louis had amortized cost of 38.8 million euros as of June 30, but Juventus still freed up cap space and lineup space through the deal.
Juventus' primary goal is to sign Muani back. Douglas Louis' annual salary before tax is about 9.25 million euros, and Juventus will provide Muani with the same annual salary. Muani has reached a long-term agreement with Juventus. He has never considered the offer of other teams. Paris and Juventus have reached a basic agreement to loan him to Juventus for a loan fee of about 10 million euros, with a conditional mandatory buyout clause implemented in 2026, with an amount ranging from 35 million to 40 million euros, and activation conditions are relatively easy.
Douglas Luis' departure also made Juventus have to add a midfielder to the lineup, preferably a versatile player who can be both one of the double midfielders and a competent midfielder. Juventus' target for 25-year-old Brighton midfielder O'Reilly, who moved from the Celtics for 27 million euros last year, and Juventus general manager Comoli will try to bring him in on loan at the last minute of the summer window.
If Nicholas Gonzalez leaves the team, Juventus may introduce Atletico Molina and Lille's Gergrova.
