It seems that Juventus midfielder Douglas Luiz is on his way to leaving the Italian club during the summer transfer window, amid strong interest from Premier League giants Manchester United and Newcastle United.

According to 'Tuttosport', Newcastle has already begun initial steps to sign the Brazilian international, who has struggled for playing time with the Old Lady this season.

Newcastle aims to strengthen their midfield in preparation for next season, and Luiz is considered an ideal option to form a strong trio alongside Bruno Guimarães and Sandro Tonali.

Meanwhile, Manchester United's management is also looking to bolster their midfield with a player who possesses skill and experience in the Premier League, and Luiz appears as one of the leading candidates.

It is worth noting that the 27-year-old player has previously shown impressive performances with Aston Villa and is open to returning to the Premier League if he receives a suitable offer.

Reports indicate that Juventus does not oppose the player's departure and may enter a swap deal with Newcastle United involving Sandro Tonali, with Luiz's future expected to be resolved in the coming weeks.
