Want to buy Sancho for 10 million? Juventus sells Louis and Gonzalez, but Gonzalez has no intention of going to Saudi Arabia

Football

The football market website reported that Douglas Luis, who had only played for Juventus for one season, has been considered a redundant player by the club. They hope that a team can bid for the former Aston Villa star and will also consider the offer to loan the Brazilian midfielder.

Douglas Luis joined the Zebras from Aston Villa for 50 million euros last summer, becoming one of the most expensive new players in Serie A. However, he had a disappointing debut season in the 2024-25 season, with only 19 appearances in the Serie A, with only three starting games.

Juventus recently decided that Luis would not be part of the first team plan for the 2025-26 season, so they are looking for a buyer for the Brazilian midfielder. According to the Football Market Network, several Premier League teams are considering introducing Lewis, including West Ham United, Nottingham Forest, Newcastle United, Leeds United and Fulham.

However, at present, Juventus has not received any official offer for buying Louis. Saturday's report said Juventus insisted on selling Douglas Luis for 40 million euros this summer. Juventus is also reportedly ready to accept a loan deal, but it will include the terms of the purchase obligation.

The Milan Sports Daily reported that West Ham United is now the club that is most likely to bring Juventus midfielder Douglas Luis back to the Premier League, and they can finalize the deal with it for only 40 million euros.

The Brazilian midfielder transferred from Aston Villa to the Zebras for 50 million euros last summer, but had no influence in Serie A and Champions League. He only played for Juventus for 877 minutes last season, without goals and assists, neither Thiago Mota nor Tudor could activate his form at Villa.

Today's report revealed that many Premier League clubs have shown strong interest in Louis, including West Ham, Nottingham Forest, Newcastle, Leeds and Fulham. Now the Milan Sports Daily emphasizes that as negotiations deepen this weekend, West Ham United is most determined to reach a deal.

Juventus' asking price is not expected to be as low as €40 million, but considering Douglas Luis' performance last season, the Turin giants are open to different transfer methods. This could be a 10 million lease transaction, and if certain conditions are met, there will be a mandatory buyout clause of 25-30 million.

Football Market website reports that Juventus is preparing to listen to buyers' offer for winger Nico Gonzalez this summer, but even with the offer, the Argentine international is not particularly interested in transferring to the Saudi professional league.

Nico Gonzalez has only played for one season with the Zebras, joining on loan from Fiorentina, and Juventus is obliged to buy out its ownership this summer. To rent Gonzalez Juventus, a fee of 8 million euros was paid, plus a permanent transfer fee of 25 million, not including bonuses or surcharges.

But Gonzalez's performance at Juventus is difficult to satisfy, especially since Tudor took office, he often arranged Nico to serve as the wing instead of the offensive role behind the striker, which is his most natural position. Therefore, it is reported that Nico is also keen to change the environment, and if there is a suitable offer, Juventus will not stop him from leaving.

According to the football market website, if a buyer pays Juventus' 25 million euro transfer fee that needs to buy out of Ganghuang this summer, it will be enough to get the Zebra Legion to agree to release the person. However, there is no official offer yet.

Recent reports say that some unspecified Saudi professional league clubs are interested in him, but Football Market Network revealed that transfer to the Middle East is not Gonzas' most attractive option at the moment, especially given that he is looking to be called up by the Argentina national team for the 2026 World Cup next summer.

Dimazio and Sky Sports Italy reported that Juventus contacted Manchester United again this weekend, but currently only offered a 10 million euro offer for England winger Jaden Sancho, plus bonus terms.

Sancho has been linked to the Zebras in the last two summer transfer windows. He finally joined Chelsea on loan last season, and this summer window, he is likely to go to Serie A to play. Reports earlier this week claimed Sancho was in "in-depth" negotiations on joining Juventus from Manchester United this summer.

Dimazio and Sky Sports Italy claimed on Saturday that in order to sign Sancho this summer, Juventus is willing to provide a transfer fee of 10 million euros, plus bonus terms. Despite reports, Manchester United's asking price is 25 million, a quarter of the transfer fee that the Red Devils bought him from Dortmund four years ago.

Juventus and Manchester United are still negotiating a potential deal for Sancho, who may be a potential replacement for Nico Gonzalez, and the Argentine winger may leave Turin this summer.

Transfer expert Moreto reported that Marseille recommended Valentine Longguier to Juventus, but the latter was not interested in the 30-year-old defensive midfielder.

In the discussion between the two clubs, both sides talked about Argentine defender Valerdi, while Longigier was more recommended by Marseille to the Zebras than by Juventus showing any particular interest. That's because the defensive midfielder will turn 31 later this year and his contract with Marseille is only until June 2026.

Therefore, Marseille hopes to sell Longjiye this summer instead of waiting for him to leave the team freely next summer. Longjiye has been affected by groin injuries since May and may have difficulty fully adapting to the preseason.

All of this makes it unlikely that Juventus will advance this proposal, as there are quite a few "glass" players in their lineup.

Italian transfer expert Pedula reported that Portuguese Sports offered a 20 million euro offer to buy Alberto Costa. The Portuguese right-back also hopes to return to his motherland to play football, and Juventus asked the opponent's midfielder Morten Jurmande about the situation.

Italian media reported earlier this week that Portugal Sports has set its sights on 21-year-old Juventus right-back Alberto Costa, hoping to bring him back to Portugal six months after he transferred from Guimaraes to the Zebra Corps.

However, Juventus paid a transfer fee of 12.5 million euros, plus a surcharge of no more than 2.5 million yuan, and ancillary fees of 1.3 million yuan. Costa has made 14 appearances for Juventus so far, contributing 3 assists, but only 7 of them are starting.

With the promise of returning to the homeland to get more regular game time, Costa is also eager to transfer to Portugal Sports. The €20 million proposal so far is not enough, but it can be exceeded by adding some performance-related bonuses.

Meanwhile, Pedula confirmed that as part of the negotiations, Juventus asked Portugal Sports about Danish midfielder Jurmand. JuveFC website reported that Juventus abandoned Kostic has attracted the attention of many clubs, and Atlanta is in the lead in the competition of the Serbian side.

In the summer of 2022, Kostic joined the Zebras from Frankfurt and was loaned to Fenerbahce last season. Although it performed quite well in the Turkish League, the Turkish superpower team did not buy out 32-year-old Kostic. This summer, he returned to Juventus and went to the United States to participate in the Club World Cup.

According to JuveFC, Costic has several suitors in Europe and beyond, but Atlanta leads the competition. However, Rome, Crystal Palace, Frankfurt and Berlin United are also interested in Serbs.

Previously, some Türkiye (Besiktas and Galatasaray) and Arab (Ein and Etihad) clubs were also interested in him, but Kostic's first choice was to stay in Europe, especially in the Serie A.
