Saudi Pro League outfit Al-Ittihad FC and Jose Mourinho’s Fenerbahce's are touted as potential destinations for Belgium international Youri Tielemans from Aston Villa.
Following yesterday’s impressive pre-season friendly display from Luiz, who scored the opener and set up wantaway Serbian striker Dusan Vlahovic in the 2-0 success over Juventus Next Gen, the club could pair the Brazilian with Tielemans in midfield.
Luiz, who suffered a nightmare Serie A debut season after arriving as a marquee signing from Villa last summer, is pushing for a return to the Premier League.
Although any potential deal of a switch to Everton or Nottingham Forest appears to have come to a standstill, there are a plethora of top-flight clubs in England who could swoop for Luiz.
Juve head coach Tudor was full of praise for Luiz after yesterday’s victory, and could utilize him this term unless an offer matching the club’s valuation is received.
Juventus may need to replenish
With Weston McKennie and Fabio Miretti, whose first-half muscular injury yesterday throws his potential transfer to Serie A champions Napoli into jeopardy.
Villa must sell players because of the stringent Premier League’s Profit and Sustainability Rules, and with a plethora of midfielders they are open to offers of at least €40 million (US$46.7m) for Tielemans.
Should central midfielder Tielemans join Fenerbahce, Juve are likely to continue their recent interest in versatile midfielder Sofyan Amrabat who has Serie A experience.
Tielemans kicked off his career with Belgium giants Royal Anderlecht, enjoyed spells at AS Monaco and Leicester City before moving to the Premier League as a free agent in 2023. He has played 99 times for Villa, where his instinct to attack and dribble has earned him plenty of admirers including Juventus.
