I recently moved one of my old sites to a new domain, because the old domain expired.
Now on the new domain, I get an issue that the root URL seems to be: newdomain.com/newdomain/
So whenever I go to wp-admin, it redirects to newdomain.com/newdomain/wp-login.php.
If I try to login, on newdomain.com/login.php, it redirects to newdomain.com/newdomain/login.php.
I tried deactiving plugins/themes. And this problem persists.
I updated the URL correctly in the database (siteurl and home)
Has anyone ran into this situation? What could be causing this?

If you have not set any redirection settings on your server, check .htaccess or nginx configuration file. For apache webservice, your .htaccess should be like below:
# BEGIN WordPress
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
# END WordPress

Sounds like an issue within the database indeed. Most probably, your WordPress was not re-configured to properly use the new URL. You have to run a search and replace the OLD URL with the NEW ONE and clear your browser's/WP cache. You can also check the following guide on how to do that properly:
