Leeds United have reportedly opened preliminary talks with the entourage of Juventus midfielder Douglas Luiz, who is not part of Igor Tudor’s plans.

Calciomercato.com reports that Leeds United have shown interest in Juventus midfielder Douglas Luiz by opening preliminary talks with the midfielder’s entourage.

Leeds call agent of Juventus midfielder Douglas Luiz

Douglas Luiz formally joined Juventus in a €50m deal from Aston Villa a year ago, but has struggled with injuries and limited playing time in Turin, accumulating just 877 minutes on the pitch without contributing to any goals.

Premier League options for Douglas Luiz

Douglas Luiz was seen chatting to Pep Guardiola during a Club World Cup game between Manchester City and Juventus on Thursday, but according to the report, the Premier League giants are not pursuing a potential deal for the ex-Aston Villa star.

Manchester United could be a possible destination for the 27-year-old, but only after July 1. In contrast, the pathway leading to Leeds is more feasible in the final days of June due to financial reasons.
