What Nottingham Forest need to complete Douglas Luiz deal with Juventus

Recent reports claim that Nottingham Forest have an agreement on personal terms with midfielder Douglas Luiz, but the Premier League side still need to increase their offer to Juventus in order to close the deal. Juventus are looking to offload Douglas Luiz just one year on from his €50m arrival from Aston Villa, following what has been an underwhelming start to life in Italy for the Brazilian, which included just three Serie A starts in 2024-25. Several Premier League sides have expressed an interest in signing the Brazilian this window, but Football Italia understands that Nottingham Forest have been leading the race for several weeks. Forest have Douglas Luiz agreement, but no Juventus deal LEWISBURG, WEST VIRGINIA – JUNE 14: Douglas Luiz #26 of Juventus arrives at the airport prior to the official FIFA Club World Cup 2025 on June 14, 2025 in Lewisburg, West Virginia. (Photo by) According to recent updates from Fabrizio Romano and Forest have an agreement in place over a long-term contract with Douglas Luiz himself, but have not yet settled the deal with Juventus. Forest's opening offer reportedly stood at €30m, which the Bianconeri deemed too low. Calciomercato explains that Juventus require a fee in the region of €39m if they are to avoid making a capital loss on Douglas Luiz after only one year, given the €50m fee they spent last summer. Sunday's report suggests that an increase of a couple of million from Forest's original offer with the inclusion of performance-related bonuses, some easily achievable, could be enough to convince Juventus into selling.

1 Stock Down 40% This Year to Buy and Hold

Key Points Novo Nordisk's shares have been trending downward due to clinical setbacks and underwhelming results. However, the company has some potential catalysts on the way that could jolt its stock price. Novo Nordisk looks attractive given its lineup and pipeline, especially at current levels. 10 stocks we like better than Novo Nordisk › Novo Nordisk (NYSE: NVO) first earned U.S. approval for its now-famous weight management medicine Wegovy in June 2021. That marked the beginning of a strong run for the company on the stock market. However, the Denmark-based drugmaker has given up most of these gains over the past year; the stock is down by 40% since January alone. Despite its recent misfortunes, Novo Nordisk's shares could still deliver strong returns to patient investors. Here's why. The weight management opportunity Novo Nordisk primarily develops medicines for diabetes and, in recent years, weight management. Its stock has plunged over the past year because its financial results haven't been as impressive as the market had hoped. It also faced some clinical setbacks, while its biggest rival in its core markets, Eli Lilly, earned some important wins. However, there's more to the story. The market for anti-obesity medications could grow at an incredibly rapid rate. Some analysts estimate that it will be worth $150 billion by 2035, compared to $15 billion last year. Novo Nordisk still has one of the deepest pipelines in the industry. In fact, it's challenging to find a company other than Eli Lilly that has more promising products. Recently, Novo Nordisk expanded its pipeline through various licensing deals. Here's one more thing that recently broke its way: Eli Lilly's oral GLP-1 candidate, orforglipron, did not perform nearly as well as expected in a phase 3 study. This opens the door for Novo Nordisk to catch up to its longtime rival. The company's oral version of Wegovy is currently awaiting approval from regulators in the U.S. The oral version led to an average weight reduction of 13.6% in a phase 3 clinical trial, slightly higher than the 12.4% that orforglipron recently posted in its late-stage study. While it's always hard to compare across clinical trials, the data at the very least suggests that oral Wegovy is comparable to orforglipron -- but only the former drug is closing in on approval. Novo Nordisk also has yet another promising anti-obesity candidate in phase 3 studies, amycretin, which the Denmark-based pharmaceutical giant is testing in both subcutaneous and oral formulations. Why is the race to develop an oral weight loss option so important? Pills are easier and cheaper to manufacture, store, and transport. So, compared to injectable weight loss therapies, oral versions would allow drugmakers to produce them more cost-effectively and to expand the reach of weight loss therapies. On top of that, some patients are strongly averse to needles. Because the current leading weight management drugs are administered subcutaneously, an oral option would likely take a decent share of the market. Novo Nordisk is likely to be first to market. And the company could follow up that win with another oral product in amycretin. The price is right Let's go back to Novo Nordisk's recent and disappointing financial results. In the first half of the year, revenue rose by 16% year over year to 154.9 billion Danish kroner ($24.2 billion), while net profit came in at 55.5 billion DKK ($8.7 billion). Perhaps that's not quite what the market expected to see, but these are still excellent results for a pharmaceutical giant -- most drugmakers of that size would be happy to grow their revenue at high-single-digit or low-double-digit rates. Meanwhile, the stock appears reasonably valued, trading at 13 times forward earnings, compared to the healthcare industry's average of 16.2. What's the verdict? Novo Nordisk looks attractive at current levels, given the company's strong pipeline in weight management and a lineup that continues to deliver consistent profits. Despite recent setbacks, the stock is well-positioned to deliver excellent results over the long term. Should you invest $1,000 in Novo Nordisk right now?

Revealed – Wage Offer From Saudi Club Neom To Inter Milan & France Star

Saudi Pro League club Neom are ready to offer Inter Milan defender Benjamin Pavar wages of €8 million net per season. This according to today's print edition of Turin-based newspaper Tuttosport, via FCInterNews. Recent reports have suggested that Inter are ready to sell Benjamin Pavard. Inter signed Pavard two years ago from Bayern Munich. And the France international has certainly had his part to play, helping the Nerazzurri to the Serie A title in his first season at the club. But perhaps Pavard, who turns thirty next season, is not in line with the future of Inter's project. The likes of Galatasaray and Lille have shown an interest. And it is not just these European clubs who have reportedly identified Pavard as a target. From the Saudi Pro League, Neom have also reportedly emerged as suitors for the 2018 World Cup winner. Neom Ready To Offer Inter Defender Benjamin Pavard €8M Net/Season MILAN, ITALY – APRIL 16: Benjamin Pavard of FC Internazionale applauds the fans as he warms up prior to the UEFA Champions League 2024/25 Quarter Final Second Leg match between FC Internazionale Milano and FC Bayern München at San Siro on April 16, 2025 in Milan, Italy. (Photo by) According to Tuttosport, Galatasaray and Lille would struggle to meet Inter's asking price for Pavard. The Nerazzurri certainly aren't going to let the Frenchman leave for less than €20 million. That is the amount that Inter would need to bring in to avoid taking a capital loss. However, Neom would have no trouble paying that amount for Pavard. Meanwhile, the Saudi club are also prepared to put big wages on the table to tempt the player himself. They are reportedly offering around €8 million net per season.
