The coach is testing him in pre-season: he has already upped his tempo and showcased his qualities. He has admirers in the Premier League, but the Brazilian sees himself in Turin.
“No, thank you.” That was essentially Douglas Luiz’s response to Everton. The midfielder is enjoying a new lease of life at Juventus, and is becoming increasingly convinced that staying in Turin would be the right choice. Spalletti has involved him from the start of pre-season, to the extent that he's already looking ahead to the new campaign, even if the club hasn't yet decided on his future.

Douglas Luiz has played every friendly match from the start, alongside Locatelli. Spalletti had challenged him on his tempo, given that his initial performances were slow-paced: the midfielder quickly understood and stepped up a gear, showcasing his qualities right up to the final test against Chelsea.

Spalletti is considering his options, also because he believes Douglas Luiz's qualities could truly make a difference in his style of play.
