Revealed: Issue delaying Premier League return for USMNT star Weston McKennie – with Aston Villa & Juventus agreeing deal that could Douglas Luiz & Alisha Lehmann head for Turin

The Bianconeri are reported to have agreed a deal with Aston Villa for Brazil international Douglas Luiz. There is plenty of speculation to suggest that he could be joined in Turin by girlfriend Alisha Lehmann, as she mulls over her own move from England to Italy.

Tuttosport claims that personal terms are in place with Luiz, while Juve will hand over a further €20 million (£17m/$21m) in a part-exchange deal that also includes American midfielder McKennie – with only a year left to run on his current contract – and England U21 winger Samuel Iling-Junior.

Iling-Junior, who has taken in 45 appearances for Juventus across the last two campaigns, is said to be seeking game time assurances from Villa boss Unai Emery before committing to a switch that will see him return to his homeland.

McKennie is also reported to be demanding a settlement fee from Juve before agreeing to leave, as he still has 12 months to run on his deal with the Serie A giants. If the relevant compromises can be reached, then a complicated agreement involving three players – and potentially Lehmann as well – should be completed and McKennie will return to the Premier League after previously spending time in that division on loan at Leeds.
