Juventus are ready to offer former Aston Villa midfielder Douglas Luiz to Crystal Palace as part of their bid to sign Eberechi Eze.
Eze has been a star player for Palace for a number of years, but there has been some uncertainty over his future for some time as top clubs have shown interest in him.
Arsenal in talks to sign a star player from Crystal Palace!
The English international has been linked to Manchester United and other top-flight Premier League clubs, while reports in Italy now claim Juve are keen to bring him to Turin.
Palace will certainly not want to let Eze go, especially in the middle of the season, but the player himself could be willing to move away from Selhurst Park after a poor start to the season.
It would surely be hard for him to say no to a big club like Juventus, who are also said to be willing to offer Luiz to the Eagles as a tempting part of this deal.
Should Crystal Palace replace Eberechi Eze with Douglas Luiz?
Without a doubt, Palace would struggle to replace a talent like Eze, but in Luiz they would be getting a top-class talent who has already proven himself in the Premier League.
The Brazilian midfielder has it he has struggled since leaving Villa for Juve in the summerbut before that he was a star performer for Unai Emery’s side.
It is not entirely clear what has gone wrong with Luiz in Italy, but this could perhaps lead to his return to the Premier League as soon as possible.
Palace could do well to add Luiz to midfield as he has been linked with bigger names like Arsenal before, and he may still be good enough for this level.
Luiz is a different style of player to Eze, but could certainly be smart business for all involved if he happens.
