West Ham United and Fulham are likely to clash for a defender , who will be allowed to leave Juventus.
That’s according to Gazzetta dello Sport, which says both teams are the most likely destinations for the Brazilian right now.
According to the newspaper, Juventus hopes to fund a defence acquisition in January by selling at least one of Nicolo Fagioli or Douglas Luiz.
The initial queries for the latter have arrived from England, and he is currently in a ‘derby’ with Fulham and West Ham.
The market for the midfielder, who has had a difficult time in Turin since joining from Aston Villa in the summer, has not yet begun, but Juventus are certain the Premier League has not forgotten him.
There is no indication of an asking price or what Fulham and West Ham would be willing to pay for the midfielder, only that they appear to be his best options for the time being.
We’re sure Aston Villa would be interested at some point, especially because Monchi has publicly declared that he would sign him again if he could.
In any case, anticipate his name to appear frequently in the coming weeks, as Juventus is eager to move him on to bankroll their own business.
