Ever since the whole Douglas Luiz drama started, the Italian media and Juventus fans have been thrilled with the deal.
There’s a consensus that the Turin club have played a blinder in negotiations and have managed to take advantage of a supposed need at Aston Villa to bring in cash before June 30th.
That stance hasn’t changed now it’s thought Enzo Barrenechea will be included in the deal instead of Weston McKennie, who wasn’t able to agree terms with the Premier League club.
Samuel Iling-Junior and around €20m are the other aspects of the deal that will take the Brazilian to Serie A.
There’s been a little disappointment that Iling-Junior is going, however, the 20-year-old was for sale anyway this summer as Juventus looked to raise funds.
Italian journalist Lorenzo Minotti is quote by TuttoJuve as saying: “With Douglas Luiz Juventus would acquire a great player who Juve wants to be ready immediately, he is a Brazilian international but if to force this situation 9with the youngsters) it is necessary Juventus should learn from Real Madrid by including these young players in the negotiations and make a small buyback because you never know.”Â
There is surely no way Aston Villa would agree to such clauses, given the deal is good enough for Juve anyway.
