Juventus confirm that Enzo Barrenechea and Samuel Iling-Junior have joined Aston Villa on a permanent transfer and reveal the financial details behind both deals.
The Bianconeri had announced the purchase of Douglas Luiz from Aston Villa in a €50m deal on Sunday so they were expected to confirm Barrenechea and Douglas Luiz’s departures too.
Juventus revealed in an official statement on Monday that Barrenechea has joined Aston Villa in a €8m deal, playable in four financial years, plus a maximum of €3m add-ons.
Iling-Junior, on the other hand, has completed a permanent €14m transfer, also payable in four financial years, plus a maximum of €3m add-ons.
This means Juventus have spent €28m cash to sign Douglas Luiz.
The Brazilian midfielder sent a message to his new fans on Sunday and thanked Aston Villa after five years spent at the club.
The 26-year-old scored 22 goals in 204 appearances with the Premier League side, helping them secure Champions League qualification in 2023-24.
Douglas Luiz has signed a five-year contract with the Serie A giants.
