After several weeks of rumors, it is now official, Douglas Luiz is a new laugh at Juventus. The Brazilian midfielder has signed a contract until 2029.
The first recruit of the Thiago Motta era is known, it is Douglas Luiz! The Brazilian midfielder arrives from Aston Villa and has signed a contract with Juventus until 2029.. Born in Rio de Janeiro in May 1998, he started playing football in the youth ranks of Vasco da Gama, making his first-team debut there in 2016. He then moved to Europe and Manchester City, but it was at Girona that he made his name, during a 2-year loan. After 46 appearances for the Spanish club, Aston Villa signed him and he took on another dimension. Thanks to his good performances, he earned his first cap with Brazil and made his debut as a starter for that team in November 2019. He has truly established himself as one of the best midfielders in the Premier League, with 22 goals and 24 assists in 204 appearances. This is a great signing for Juventus because it comes to strengthen a gaming sector which has been in great difficulty for the last few years.
The economic details:
« Juventus Football Club SpA announces that an agreement has been reached with Aston Villa Football Club for the definitive acquisition of the registration rights of the player Douglas Luiz Soares de Paulo for a consideration of €50 million, payable over four financial years, plus ancillary costs of €1.5 million.
