The situation around Douglas Luiz is drawing attention again in the closing stages of the summer transfer window.
Luciano Spalletti gave the Brazilian midfielder a fresh chance during pre-season, and his public comments made it clear he is counting on him ahead of the new campaign.
Douglas Luiz showed signs of progress during the preparation period, and right now there is a realistic chance he stays in Turin.
However, Juventus' stance on the market is not completely closed.
Juventus would consider a serious offer
According to Matteo Moretto, Juventus would be happy for Douglas Luiz to stay in the squad, but the club is still ready to consider selling him should a significant offer arrive.
That means the Bianconeri are not currently trying to sell the Brazilian at all costs, but at the same time they do not consider his stay fully guaranteed.
The right offer could change the situation.
A sale would open the door for new signings
The financial aspect could be very important for Juventus' final decision.
A potential sale of Douglas Luiz would free up significant funds the club could use to strengthen other positions in the team.
Juventus are still working in the market, and the end of August could bring a few more changes to Spalletti's squad.
That is exactly why the management will have to weigh what a big offer for the Brazilian would mean for the rest of the transfer window.
Spalletti wants him, but the market can change everything
At this point the situation is fairly clear: Spalletti is counting on Douglas Luiz and Juventus have no problem with him staying.
Still, a big enough offer could change those plans.
That is why the Brazilian midfielder's situation remains one of the stories to follow until the summer window closes.
