Aston Villa transfer news: Three medicals booked as latest deal agreed – sources
Aston Villa have reached a full agreement on the deal taking Douglas Luiz to Juventus, sources have told Football Insider.
Winger Samuel Iling-Junior, 20, and defensive midfielder Enzo Barrenechea, 23, have agreed to head to Villa as part of the deal and will undergo medicals at the club in the next 48 hours.
Meanwhile, Luiz is booked in for his Juventus medical tests on Wednesday (26 June) in the United States, where Luiz is playing for his country at Copa America.
The triple deal has been ironed out with all parties and is set to be signed off.
A Villa senior source has told Football Insider that Juventus will also pay Aston Villa a fee of £25million as part of the deal for 15-cap Brazil international Luiz.
The Midlands giants have been forced to part with the midfield star due to financial concerns – with a potential breach of Profitability and Sustainability Rules (PSR) hanging over the club.
