Juventus are on the verge of completing a major transfer deal, with reports suggesting they are set to sign Brazilian midfielder Douglas Luiz from Aston Villa.
The move, expected to be finalized imminently, will see a complex swap arrangement take place.
According to the reports, Juventus will send American midfielder Weston McKennie and young English winger Samuel Iling-Junior to Villa Park, along with a reported cash injection of around €20 million.
Douglas Luiz already given greenlight to a move to Juventus, after both clubs agree terms. Weston McKennie’s greenlight to join Aston Villa is missing but it’s expected as soon as possible since he is open to a move.
This paves the way for Douglas Luiz, a key figure for Aston Villa, to join the Italian giants.
The 26-year-old’s versatility and skillset are said to be a perfect fit for Juventus’ midfield, which they are looking to strengthen.
The deal also benefits Aston Villa financially, helping them comply with Premier League financial regulations by the end of June.
Selling Luiz, a crucial player for them, allows them to meet these requirements, while McKennie and Iling-Junior provide fresh talent for their squad.
For Juventus, the arrival of Douglas Luiz brings a proven Premier League performer with an ability to contribute at both ends of the pitch.
This is a significant boost for the upcoming season, especially under the guidance of their new manager, Thiago Motta.
