Douglas Luiz on Al-Nassr's Radar: A Risky Deal
Reports indicate that Al-Nassr is preparing to make an official offer to Juventus for Brazilian midfielder Douglas Luiz during the ongoing summer transfer window.
Al-Nassr has prioritized the 27-year-old player to strengthen their midfield, relying on his known talent and successful previous experience with Aston Villa.
Despite having high individual skills, Luiz did not meet expectations in his first season with Juventus, as he failed to score or assist any goals in the 27 matches he played across various competitions.
The player missed 20 matches due to injuries, raising questions about his physical readiness, leading some to consider that Al-Nassr's move for him could be a gamble at this time.
The optimistic view attributes his decline in performance to his lack of harmony with the plans of former coach Thiago Motta, nor with the current coach Radovan Križanović, which affected his performance.
Supporters of the transfer believe that moving to the Saudi league under Portuguese coach Jorge Jesus could give him the opportunity to rediscover himself and deliver performances that match his potential.
The question remains within Al-Nassr's corridors: Will the club take this artistic gamble and sign Luiz despite the concerns? Or will they turn to names that are more stable both technically and physically?
