Juventus signed Brazil midfielder, DOUGLAS LUIZ from Aston Villa in a deal worth a reported 42.3 million pounds yesterday.

LUIZ agreed a five-year contract with the Italian club as he became the latest player to leave Villa Park due to the Premier League club’s financial fair-play cost-cutting.

Signed from Manchester City in 2019, the 26-year-old spent five years with Villa and was a key player in their surprise fourth-place finish in the Premier League last season.

The Brazilian, who scored 22 goals in 204 appearances for Villa, completed his medical ahead of the Juventus move while on international duty with Brazil at the Copa America. 

He will be joining a Juventus side that finished third in Serie A last season, 24 points behind champions Inter Milan.
