Douglas Luiz West Ham transfer 2025 talks have officially begun as the Hammers look to capitalise on Juventus’ willingness to part ways with the Brazilian midfielder.

According to Gazzetta dello Sport, Luiz is open to a Premier League return and is tempted by West Ham’s proposal, despite a mixed season in Italy. Juventus are prepared to negotiate a loan-to-buy deal to reshape their midfield under new leadership.

West Ham’s proposal includes a €10m loan fee with a €25–30m obligation to buy if certain performance conditions are met. Juventus had invested €50m in Luiz just last summer, but his form has dipped and the club are open to cutting losses.

Juve director Damien Comolli is actively offloading players to rebuild their midfield, and Luiz is one of the first names on the chopping block.

The 27-year-old’s time in Turin has been stop-start, but West Ham believe they can unlock the Aston Villa version of Luiz — a dominant, composed force in midfield.

Analyst Verdict

Douglas Luiz’s skill set suits Potter’s system — press-resistant, combative, and progressive. If West Ham can get this deal done creatively, it could be a midfield masterstroke.
