Douglas Luiz has gone AWOL to force through a Premier League transfer. Juventus midfielder Douglas Luiz is desperate to return to England and has refused to show up to pre-season training. Chelsea showed interest in Luiz in January, but nothing has materialized. The relationship between the player and Juventus is completely broken, and disciplinary measures are expected against Luiz.

Chelsea has requested a loan for Douglas Luiz until June, as reported by Fabrizio Romano. Juventus is currently not open to a loan unless it includes an obligation to purchase or conditions leading to a permanent transfer.

Chelsea have reportedly been presented with an opportunity to sign Juventus midfielder Douglas Luiz on loan, as reported by Simon Phillips. The 26-year-old Brazilian, who recently transferred to Juventus from Aston Villa, has faced challenges in Serie A, prompting discussions of an early departure. Despite Chelsea's robust midfield lineup, which includes Enzo Fernandez, Moises Caicedo, and Romeo Lavia, they have been given the option to acquire Luiz temporarily. This proposal could be appealing for Chelsea, considering Luiz's proven track record in English football. Furthermore, Luiz is also being considered for a return to Manchester City, where he could potentially replace the injured Rodri, adding a competitive edge to Chelsea's decision-making.
