Man United and Newcastle United are both willing to sign Brazilian star this summer. The player has already proved himself in Premier League. He can be available in summer window due to the lack of game-time this season.
Manchester United are on 16th position in the Premier League right now. They are not impressed at all despite reaching Europa League final. Hence, many changes are expected this summer. As of now, both Casemiro and Eriksen are linked with exit as far as midfield position is concerned.
On the other hand, Newcastle are having a good season. They have ended their trophy drought by winning the Carabao Cup. They are on 3rd position in Premier League. But, Eddie Howe is keen to improve their squad even further. He wants to add another midfielder to their squad.
Man United & Newcastle both willing to sign Brazilian midfielder
The star in the question here is Douglas Luiz of Juventus. According to Tuttosport via Sport Witness, both United and Magpies are showing interest in Luiz. The player can be available in the summer window due to lack of gametime.
Luiz was one of the best players in Premier League last season. He ended the season with 10 goals and 10 assists for Aston Villa. Juventus signed him last summer but the move has clearly failed. The Brazilian has failed to impress in Turin.
Luiz has played only 25 games across all competitions this season. In addition, he has only started 6 of them. As a result, Juve can also opt to sell him as they no longer consider him an important player. The Brazilian can be open to move to England where he was at his best.
Juventus are showing strong interest to sign Sandro Tonali. This may result in swap deal between Juve and Newcastle. But, it will depend on what the clubs along with players think. As of now, the Magpies are focused on qualifying for the Champions League.
