West Ham United are monitoring Douglas Luiz’s situation closely, with the Brazilian’s future at Juventus casting fresh doubts amid growing Premier League interest.

With the midfielder failing to report back to training after Copa America, the Hammers are weighing up a potential move as Juventus begin to question his long-term role.

Douglas Luiz Faces Juventus Uncertainty After No-Show

Douglas Luiz, who joined Juventus just last summer from Aston Villa, has sparked fresh speculation after failing to return for pre-season training on Thursday. According to Sky Italia, the 26-year-old informed the club he’ll be back next week, but gave no reason for his absence.

Juventus are now in discussions with Luiz’s representatives and are considering disciplinary action. After an inconsistent debut season in Serie A, this latest twist could push the club into offloading him earlier than expected.

West Ham and Everton Exploring Douglas Luiz Transfer

Premier League interest is heating up, with West Ham previously thought to be assessing Luiz’s situation. Inside Futbol reports that while Leeds United had previously been linked, it’s now the Hammers and Toffees leading the chase.

Everton have even held talks with Juventus general manager Cristiano Giuntoli, making their interest known. West Ham are playing it more measured, giving intermediaries time to explore a potential deal to bring Luiz back to England.

With midfield reinforcements on the agenda, Luiz’s versatility and Premier League experience with Aston Villa make him a genuine target.

Juventus Open to Selling Amid Squad Reshuffle

Juventus are believed to be open to offers for Luiz after an underwhelming campaign. The midfielder was signed as part of Aston Villa’s financial strategy to comply with spending regulations but hasn’t fully settled in Turin.

With 19 international caps for Brazil and ambitions to secure a more regular national team role ahead of the next World Cup, a return to the Premier League might be just what he needs to get back on track.

West Ham Eye Luiz as Midfield Rebuild Option

Sky Italia also reports further talks are expected between Juventus officials and Luiz’s representatives in the coming days. If the Italian club signals a willingness to sell, West Ham may position themselves quickly.

Luiz would bring proven top-flight pedigree and international quality to West Ham’s midfield. For a side looking to reshape its identity under a new regime, landing a player of his calibre could be a smart and ambitious addition.
