An incredible revelation to say the least about the Texan’s refusal to join Aston Villa, which infuriated the Juventus fans, who were betrayed by the player.
One of the negotiations that is taking place in the last hours in Serie A is the one that should lead Douglas Luiz to Juventus. The Brazilian midfielder from Aston Villa is very popular with the Bianconeri, who have already concluded a successful negotiation with the Villains. The midfielder should have moved to Turin on the basis of 20 million euros plus the cards of Samuel Iling Jr and Weston McKennie. Unfortunately something went wrong.
While the young English winger willingly accepted the destination, the former Schalke 04 player was unable to reach an agreement with the Premier League club due to issues related to salary. It was even thought that the deal could fall through, and only the probable inclusion of Enzo Barrenechea in the agreement should close things in the right direction.
The refusal of the Texan midfielder, however, certainly did not please the Old Lady nor the fans, who however will go into a rage as soon as they find out the real reason that pushed him to reject the Villains’ offer. Apparently indeed Behind the player there is another Serie A club ready to grab him and which persuaded him to say no on his return to the Premier League, a league he wouldn’t have been very happy to return to after the less-than-exciting experience at Leeds.
A big Italian wants McKennie
According to the latest transfer rumors, there would be Rome on the trail of the American footballer. In fact, the Giallorossi want a player to strengthen the midfield, and they have identified him in McKennie.
It cannot be ruled out that the Capitoline club itself blew up the bank and the Texan’s transfer to England. Now, however, a move will be needed from sporting director Florent Ghisolfi to understand the possibilities of this scenario.
Roma-McKennie, agreement on price is needed
To ensure that the passage of the American midfielder is successful, however, it will be necessary that the Magica and the Old Lady find an agreement from an economic point of view.
In the Douglas Luiz deal, McKennie was valued 20 million euros. An important sum, which Roma will hardly want to spend. It is therefore probable that the Giallorossi will leverage the player’s contract expiring in 2025 and the Bianconeri’s need to sell an element now out of the plans.
