Juventus are close to completing a deal for Aston Villa midfielder Douglas Luiz, a source has told ESPN.
The Brazil international will move to Turin for a fee of around £43 million ($54 million). Juventus pair Samuel Iling-Junior and Enzo Barrenechea will move to Aston Villa in a separate deal worth £18.6million.
A source told ESPN that deals are moving forward and should be formally completed by the end of next week. American midfielder Weston McKennie was initially part of talks between Juventus and Aston Villa, but has not been included in the move.
Luiz, who moved to Villa Park from Manchester City in 2019, was a key part of Unai Emery's side last season as they finished fourth in the Premier League and secured a Champions League place.
Villa have been under pressure to raise funds after reporting a loss of almost £120m in March.
Luiz leaves Villa after having played 204 games in five years and scored 22 goals.
Villa have also agreed deals for Tim Iroegbunam to join Everton and Omari Kellyman to join Chelsea.
Iling-Junior will return to England after spending time in Chelsea's youth ranks before joining Juventus.
The 20-year-old has represented England at under-21 level and has made 45 appearances for Juventus since making his senior debut in 2022.
Barrenechea, 23, was on loan at Frosinone last season.
