Leeds United are the latest club to express an interest in signing Juventus midfielder Douglas Luiz in the summer transfer window.<\/strong><\/p>\n That is according to former Man United and Blackburn chief scout Mick Brown, who remains very well-connected within the game, as he exclusively told Football Insider<\/strong> that Juventus are planning to cash in on the 27-year-old.<\/p>\n As a result, the Brazil international\u2019s agent has been offering him to a number of Premier League clubs and has been in frequent talks about his future.<\/p>\n Luiz left Aston Villa<\/a> to join Juventus less than a year ago but is already eyeing a return to England after a disappointing season in Turin.<\/p>\n Football Insider<\/strong> revealed in January that Man City were considering signing Luiz on loan<\/a> as a stop-gap option with Rodri ruled out through injury.<\/p>\n The Italian giants had offered the midfielder to the former Premier League champions, but after failing to reach an agreement, they are set to continue to push him out.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n MORE FOOTBALL INSIDER STORIES<\/p>\n Leeds United to rival Nottingham Forest for Douglas Luiz deal<\/strong><\/p>\n Brown told Football Insider<\/strong> on 27 March that Nottingham Forest scouts have been watching Luiz<\/a> as he has emerged on their long list of targets at the City Ground.<\/p>\n The former scout, who has a wealth of experience in top-level player recruitment after over a decade at Man United during their most successful period, has insisted the player\u2019s agent is trying hard to agree a move back to the Premier League.<\/p>\n \u201cJuventus want to get rid of Douglas Luiz,\u201d he told Football Insider.<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cHe hasn\u2019t made an impact there since leaving Villa, and from what I hear his agent has been speaking to a load of Premier League clubs to find him a move.<\/p>\n \u201cLuiz is a very good passer of the ball, he\u2019s a talented player.<\/p>\n \u201cMy issue has always been that if the game is against you, he goes missing.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s something I flagged while I was at Aston Villa, if the run of the game starts going against you, he\u2019s always second to everything and you can bypass him in midfield.<\/p>\n \u201cSo Leeds may well be interested after speaking to his agent, but they have to know what they\u2019re getting.<\/p>\n \u201cIf they want somebody to get on the ball and help them progress, he can do that.<\/p>\n \u201cIf they want somebody who\u2019s combative and willing to battle in the middle, they\u2019ll look elsewhere.<\/p>\n \u201cTheir scouts will have done their due diligence on him, they\u2019ll know what he can and can\u2019t do, and then it\u2019s up to them to make a decision.\u201d<\/p>\n Alongside their interest in Luiz, Leeds are considering signing another Brazilian player this summer in the form of Fulham striker Rodrigo Muniz.<\/p>\n Brown told Football Insider<\/strong> on 25 June that Leeds are preparing another offer for Muniz<\/a> after their first bid was turned down by Marco Silva\u2019s side.<\/p>\n The 24-year-old forward has emerged among the top targets at Elland Road as they aim to strengthen their squad to stay in the Premier League.<\/p>\n However,\u00a0Football Insider<\/strong>\u00a0revealed on 23 June that\u00a0Fulham are confident of pricing Leeds out<\/a>\u00a0of a move for Muniz as they are determined to keep their star man.<\/p>\n For more Leeds United and exclusive news, follow us on\u00a0Facebook<\/a>\u00a0or join our brand
