Douglas Luiz wanted by Nottingham Forest! Nuno Espirito Santo's side eyeing summer swoop for Juventus star ahead of do-or-die Champions League qualification decider

Per the Daily Mail, Forest are interested in signing Luiz from Juventus this summer due to their close links with the Brazilian market. The midfielder, formerly of Aston Villa, has struggled for minutes this season, to the point of publicly complaining, and has also been linked with Newcastle, with a swap deal mooted that would see Sandro Tonali move the other way.

Forest can qualify for the Champions League this weekend, as they face Chelsea in a do-or-die final game of the season. The Blues sit fifth, with Forest seventh, and they are separated by only a point; a win for Nuno Espirito Santo's side could see them move into the top five, although they would need Aston Villa to drop points against Manchester United. Doing so would surely strengthen their hand in negotiations for Luiz.

The Brazil international, who has won 18 caps for his country, has made just three starts in Serie A in a season where he has been hampered by injury. While he has a contract until 2029, a move may well suit all parties this summer.

Forest face Chelsea in perhaps their biggest league game in a generation this weekend. Then, they will set about reshaping their squad.
