“SHOCKING TWIST! Everton’s Top Transfer Target VANISHES from Training After Agent’s MYSTERIOUS England Trip – Deal COLLAPSING?!”

Everton Pursue Douglas Luiz Amid Pre-Season Struggles

Following a disappointing start to their pre-season campaign, Everton are in desperate need of reinforcements.

Manager David Moyes has shown visible signs of frustration, particularly during a recent tunnel conversation with Angus Kinnear—likely focused on the club’s lack of transfer activity and a notably thin squad heading into the Premier League season.

Despite the slow movement on the transfer front, there is a glimmer of hope for the Toffees. One potential target has made his intentions clear, offering The Friedkin Group a timely opportunity to act.

Target Skips Training After Arrival in England

Recent developments suggest Everton are stepping up their pursuit of Bayern Munich’s Adam Aznou.

Moyes has reportedly urged the ownership to prioritise a new full-back this summer, and Aznou could be a step in that direction.

Still, as promising as the young defender may be, his signing alone won’t resolve Everton’s broader issues.

A player who could offer a more immediate impact is Douglas Luiz. The former Aston Villa midfielder, now with Juventus, has remained a high-priority target for Everton throughout the summer.

Reports indicate Luiz is unhappy in Turin and is keen on a return to the Premier League.

In fact, Luiz recently travelled to England to hold talks with interested clubs—Everton and Nottingham Forest among them.

His desire to leave Juventus became even more evident when Fabrizio Romano revealed that Luiz failed to report for pre-season training, further fuelling speculation about his future.

Everton’s Offer for the Brazilian Midfielder

Bringing Luiz back to the Premier League would be a major coup for Everton’s evolving project.

His prior success in England makes him an ideal candidate to inject quality and experience into Moyes’ midfield.

In addition to seeking regular first-team football, Luiz is eager to improve his chances of representing Brazil on the international stage—another reason he’s pushing for a Premier League move.

While Nottingham Forest remain serious contenders, Everton are firmly in the race. The Friedkin Group have already submitted a £26 million bid for Luiz, though Juventus are reportedly holding out for closer to £35 million.

With the Serie A giants now irritated by Luiz’s refusal to attend training, the pressure is mounting.

Everton must now seize the moment and convince the midfielder that his future lies at Goodison Park.
