Chelsea have decided to take their time during this winter transfer window. With his new coach, Liam Rosenior, the objective is to build a squad that fits into his plans, and this requires reflection. Furthermore, according to information from Fabrizio Romano, the Premier League club had targeted midfielder Douglas Luiz. The Brazilian, currently in the ranks of Nottingham Forest, would have caused a sensation on the Blues side and an agreement has already been reached with the 27-year-old player. Now the source indicates that the British management is only interested in a loan for Luiz, with no obligation to buy.
The East Midlands club will therefore keep their player warm for the moment. Chelsea still hopes to conclude this deal since the South American midfielder remains an essential asset in the midfield. It fits perfectly with the established game in the Premier League with remarkable solidity. Despite some shortcomings in the offensive phase, given his poor performance this season (0 goals, 1 assist), this will not slow down the club which is scrutinizing him carefully during this winter window.
