Juventus and Aston Villa are reportedly on the verge of completing a complex deal involving Douglas Luiz, Weston McKennie, Enzo Barrenechea, and a significant cash payment.
The initial agreement involved McKennie and Iling Junior moving to Aston Villa, along with a cash payment, in exchange for Douglas Luiz. However, McKennie’s money demands complicated the deal.
Weston McKennie was also reportedly attracting interest from Newcastle.
As a result, Juventus proposed Barrenechea as an alternative to McKennie. Aston Villa, after consulting manager Unai Emery, have accepted the change.
Financial Implications
The deal is expected to have a significant impact on the finances of both clubs:
For Juventus:
Plusvalenze (Capital Gains):
- Iling Jr.: €19.4 million
- Barrenechea: €16.7 million
- Total: €36.1 million
Savings:
- Iling Jr.: €1.24 million (amortization and salary)
- Barrenechea: €1.43 million (amortization)
- Total: €2.67 million
Cost:
- Douglas Luiz: €21.25 million (assuming a €60 million valuation and a 5-year contract worth €5 million net per season)
For Aston Villa:
Income:
- Exact amount not disclosed
- Iling Junior: €20 million
- Barrenechea: €18 million
Cost:
- Douglas Luiz: €60 million (estimated valuation)
The deal is expected to be finalized before the end of June, as Aston Villa needs to sell players to comply with Premier League Financial Fair Play regulations.
Douglas Luiz is eager to join Juventus and has informed Aston Villa that he does not intend to change his plans. His fiancée, Alisha Lehmann, a footballer herself, is also prepared to move to join Juventus Women.
The deal represents a significant coup for Juventus, who will secure a talented midfielder in Douglas Luiz while simultaneously generating substantial plusvalenze and savings.
Aston Villa, on the other hand, will receive a much-needed cash injection and two promising young players in Iling-Junior and Barrenechea.
