Vasco da Gama is committed to bringing back one of its greatest recent revelations.

The player, who belongs to Juventus (Italy) and is currently on loan at Nottingham Forest (England), wants to return to Brazil during this transfer window.

The World Cup Factor

Douglas Luiz’s main motivation is sporting. At 27 years old, the midfielder understands that this could be his last chance to play in a World Cup. He and his representatives met with Juventus management to express the need for more playing time, aiming to get on coach Carlo Ancelotti’s radar and secure a spot in the 2026 World Cup. The player sees Vasco as the ideal showcase to regain his place in the Brazilian National Team.

Negotiation Obstacles

Despite the mutual desire and prior agreement, the operation is considered complex. Vasco needs to convince Juventus that Brazilian football would be a better showcase for the asset than the Premier League, in addition to securing the termination of the loan with Nottingham Forest.

The financial aspect also weighs in: Juventus is not interested in covering part of the wages, and Vasco would only be able to pay about 50% of the player’s current salary. Douglas Luiz’s staff is working behind the scenes to try to reach an agreement with the Italians, betting on the player’s desire as a trump card to make the return possible.
