The final details have been resolved and Douglas Luiz is heading to Juventus, with Enzo Barrenechea, Samuel Iling-Junior and €22m plus bonuses going to Aston Villa.

The agreement had been reached between the clubs for Weston McKennie to be part of the swap, but the USMNT midfielder dragged everything to a halt with his demands over personal terms.

Rather than risk the entire move falling apart, Juve switched over to a different player, introducing Barrenechea instead following his loan experience with Frosinone.

Juventus and Aston Villa had to reshuffle Douglas Luiz deal

This inevitably changed the financial details, but Douglas Luiz remains with a valuation of €50m.

Juve are reaching this with Barrenechea, Iling-Junior and €22m cash, plus €2-3m in add-ons, note Sportitalia.

According to Sky Sport Italia, Juventus will also retain a percentage of the future sell-on fee for both Barrenechea and Iling-Junior.

Calciomercato.com sensationally claim the percentage of the sell-on fee for Barrenechea could be as high as 60-70 per cent, which is practically unheard of.

Aston Villa had tried to ask for Matias Soule or Dean Huijsen as part of the deal, but they are both worth considerably more.

Douglas Luiz is currently participating in the Copa America, so his medical could be performed in the United States of America.
