Douglas Luiz turning point: what's missing for the announcement

The negotiation with Aston Villa is close to closing: the medical visits will be in Brazil

But when will Douglas Luiz arrive? Many are wondering this after almost all the media announced that the agreement has been reached. But there is still one knot left and now we will explain which one it is.

Step back: last week Juventus and Aston Villa reached an agreement on everything . Juventus will pay Douglas Luiz around 70 million, which Aston Villa will collect in this way: around 20 million in cash and the rest with two players sold outright, namely Weston McKennie and Iling Jr.

The agreement between Juventus and Douglas Luiz has also been reached. The Brazilian wanted to earn 7 million a year (i.e. double what he gets at Aston Villa), but an agreement was reached whereby the Brazilian will get less, but with a rising contract and some bonuses. Furthermore, Juventus will also sign his girlfriend Alisha Lehmann , the Swiss footballer who now plays for Aston Villa women and will be in the Women next season. Among other things, Lehmann is also an influencer with 17 million followers on Instagram, therefore a driving force for the visibility of black and white women.

The announcement and the assist to Thiago Motta

So? What's missing to get to the announcement? McKennie's yes. Villa and the American midfielder have not yet reached an agreement on wages and fees. But the negotiations are tight and the green light could arrive as early as this week. At that point, a Juventus doctor would fly to Brazilfor medical visits, given that Douglas is now involved in the Copa America.

Meanwhile, just a few days ago, Juventus' possible new transfer coup spoke from Brazil's retreat ahead of the Copa America, providing more than one assist to Thiago Motta . Here's how he wants to be used: “ I'm here to give my best for the national team. Obviously I would like to be a starter, but it's a very healthy competition between us midfielders. We are a very young midfield. Everyone is here to try to give their best, to try to help Brazil - the words of Douglas Luiz - In the meantime, coach Dorival will make the choice. I think I have the ability to play very well both as a midfielder and as a midfielder. He will choose, I am here to help and - if I am allowed - to play as a starter, I would be happy. But if this is not the case, I will cheer for my teammates and for our national team."
