La Gazzetta dello Sport report that the Tricky Trees are closing in on the move and key progress has now been made for a transfer.
On Friday, the Nottingham Forest management convinced the 27-year-old to return to the Premier League after just one year in Italy. It wasn’t a big deal given the former Aston Villa player’s desire for a change of scenery, but after intense preliminary discussions, the two parties have reached a financial agreement for the contract to be signed.
Yesterday, after receiving Luiz’s approval, Nottingham Forest then began serious discussions with Juventus, who were eagerly awaiting a serious contender for one of their most significant surplus players.
Now, the Bianconeri and the English club only need to reach an agreement for a permanent transfer. This will unlock Juve’s move for Randal Kolo-Muani, with Everton and West Ham still hoping to make a final push to sign the Brazilian this summer.
