Summary
Douglas Luiz's turnaround at Juventus has earned him contract renewal discussions, according to Tuttosport. The Brazilian midfielder, who arrived for €50m (€28m cash plus €22m in player swaps) but flopped under Thiago Motta before being loaned out, has become a cornerstone of the side since Luciano Spalletti's summer intervention. Juventus are proposing to extend his deal through 2030 at the same €4.5m salary, a move that would also reduce the player's amortisation burden on the club's accounts.
