Juventus is ready to welcome Douglas Luiza midfield move that was finalized and made official on June 30. After playing the Copa America with the Brazilian national team and his post-season vacation, the midfielder will arrive in Turin this evening. The player left on a private plane a short while ago, as he himself showed in an Instagram story, in which he posted a photo of himself on the steps of the plane just before departure, complete with a white heart and a black heart.
First training session tomorrow.
Tomorrow, Douglas Luiz will officially begin his adventure at Juventus, taking to the field at Continassa for his first session under the orders of Thiago Motta, with the Italian-Brazilian coach ready to hand him the keys to his team’s midfield, where he will most likely pair up with Khaphren Thuram, another new face of the Bianconeri summer.
This is the Juventus press release from June 30th.
“Juventus Football Club SpA announces that it has reached an agreement with Aston Villa Football Club for the definitive acquisition of the rights to the sporting performances of the footballer Douglas Luiz Soares de Paulo for a consideration of €50 million, payable in four financial years, plus additional charges of €1.5 million. Juventus has signed a sports performance contract with the same footballer until 30 June 2029”.
