Intense negotiations between Juventus and Aston Villa have brought the two clubs closer to an agreement for Brazilian midfielder Douglas Luiz.
According to Romeo Agresti, the deal is complex as it involves two other players, Weston McKennie and Samuel Iling-Junior, moving to Aston Villa.
Aston Villa’s need to sell players before June 30 to comply with Financial Fair Play regulations has accelerated the Douglas Luiz negotiations.
The Brazilian midfielder is valued at €65 million, so Juventus will send McKennie and Iling-Junior to Aston Villa along with a cash payment of €20 million. McKennie is valued at around €18 million, while Iling-Junior’s valuation is around €25 million.
With a basic agreement reached on player valuations and the approval of all three players involved, the focus is now on finalizing individual contracts.
Douglas Luiz’s current salary at Aston Villa is €3.5 million per year, which is about €1 million more than McKennie’s current earnings.
Douglas Luiz is poised to become the first major signing for Thiago Motta’s new Juventus regime. The Brazilian midfielder fits Motta’s tactical profile and has been strongly advocated for by the new manager.
