Juventus makes its first move in the summer market and give yourself what in all probability can truly be defined as “the first purchase made in Giuntoli”. The Old Lady welcomes Douglas Luizin the club’s ideas, the new linchpin of the Juventus midfield for Thiago Motta, to get him no expense was spared, nor was the possibility of obtaining discounts or deferrals considered.
In fact, as per official communications, the figures of the deal are known. Aston Villa has valued Douglas Luiz at around 50 million euros (51.5 including ancillary charges, such as commissions), a figure – payable in four financial years – which has risen to 28 with the inclusion of the youngsters Iling Junior and Barrenechea, valued at 22 million in total. Contract worth 4.5 million euros until 2029, Luiz will not arrive in Turin alone: with him his partner, Alisha Lehmann, also former Aston Villa and a real celebrity on social networks, will also become Juventus.
Seized now, he could only be seen at Continassa in August in case Brazil reaches the final of the Copa America (July 15). The important thing for the Juve world, however, especially in light of Rabiot’s indecision, is to know that they can already count on a new quality midfielder. Waiting for an assault also on Nice’s Khephren Thuram, for whom next week could be a good one.
