West Ham send official offer for Douglas Luiz

West Ham United are reportedly the most committed club in the race to sign Juventus midfielder Douglas Luiz this summer.

According to Gazzetta dello Sport, the Hammers are actively pursuing the 27-year-old Brazil international, who is open to a move back to the Premier League.

Luiz enjoyed a standout spell at Aston Villa, which led Juventus to spend €50 million to secure his services.

However, his first season in Serie A has been underwhelming. Now, Juventus are ready to let him go in a bid to restructure their midfield.

Potter’s belief in Luiz sparks transfer hope

New West Ham boss Graham Potter believes Luiz still has the quality to thrive in England. The manager is confident he can help the Brazilian rediscover the form that made him a star at Villa Park. Luiz is said to be intrigued by the project at West Ham and is open to returning to the Premier League.

Juventus are reportedly asking for €40 million but are also entertaining creative deals. Talks have begun over a possible loan worth €10 million, with a mandatory purchase clause between €25–30 million depending on performance-based conditions.

While a full agreement is yet to be reached, negotiations remain active. West Ham are holding out for a better deal, hoping to bring the total cost down.

Still, with all parties showing a willingness to find a solution, optimism is growing that a deal will be finalised.

Juventus sporting director Damien Comolli is keen to offload Luiz as part of a broader midfield overhaul. That urgency could play into West Ham’s hands.

If terms can be agreed, Luiz would become one of the club’s marquee summer signings, bringing experience, technical quality, and creativity to their midfield.

The next few weeks could be decisive, but West Ham’s determination makes them firm favourites in the race.
