- Luiz skipped pre-season training without permission
- Attempting to force a move after woeful season
- Apologised to team-mates and staff for his behaviour
Luiz has been desperately trying to leave the Italian club just a year after joining from Aston Villa. In a bid to force a move, the midfielder refused to report to the club’s headquarters for training this week. The الدوري الإيطالي club are offended by Luiz’s actions and have decided to take disciplinary action against the Brazilian. Comolli clarified that the situation was resolved after Luiz apologised to the club.
The Brazilian made only 19 Serie A appearances for Juve last season and one appearance as a substitute in the Club كأس العالم this summer. Marred by injuries as soon as he joined the Italian club, the Brazilian is unable to find a new club. الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز club Nottingham Forest have reportedly submitted a loan bid with an option to buy for the 26-year-old, but Juve’s demand of €40 million (£34m/$46m) may be a hurdle for the English club.
Comolli, who is aware of the midfielder’s plight, empathised with him but asserted that he should apologise to his team-mates and staff. The general manager is very clear that no player is leaving until the club receives a worthy offer.
When asked about Luiz going AWOL, Comolli said: “The player disrespected his team-mates. Everyone must respect the shirt they wear. He then apologised to everyone, players, coaches, and me.”
Luiz will be hoping for a quick resolution to his situation, with a Premier League return a possibility. Juve are also trying to offload Timothy Weah, who rejected a move to Nottingham Forest earlier this summer, but a move to مرسيليا has emerged as a possibility.
