Juventus chief Giuntoli makes clear Luiz sale stand

The summer signing from Aston Villa has been linked with a return to the Premier League in January after a difficult start to his Serie A career.

But Giuntoli told DAZN: “He, like Danilo, came out of shape for the Copa America and struggled a bit at the beginning.

“When he was better, he played a few games as a starter, not as bad as he is portrayed, then he got injured.

“Two months have passed. In football you can burn everyone out quickly, but he is a boy of great quality and we are waiting for him.”
