USMNT star Weston McKennie's swap deal with Aston Villa's Douglas Luiz gets bolstered as Juventus offer cash + young England attacker for Brazilian midfielder

<p>The Serie A giants have made Brazil international Luiz a top target for the summer transfer window. They are exploring ways of luring the 26-year-old playmaker – who is <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/video-bikini-clad-alisha-lehmann-juggles-ball-brazilian-beach-douglas-luiz-who-hit-sand/blt241ffe38df27dcbf" target="_blank">dating fellow Villa ace Alisha Lehmann</a> – away from English football.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Juve had hoped that <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/usmnt-star-weston-mckennie-break-douglas-luiz-alisha-lehmann-bond-exchange-deal-juventus-aston-villa-midfielders/blt6bbcdc9570bdce39" target="_blank">offering American midfielder McKennie in exchange for Luiz</a> would tempt Villa into a trade, with the versatile United States international <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/no-pay-rise-weston-mckennie-terms-juventus-contract-talks-revealed-usmnt-star-extension-transfer-options/blta3fa8d1766aac497" target="_blank">entering the final year of his contract in Italy</a>. The Villans are, however, going to need more than one player.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>The Bianconeri do not have the funds to spend big on Luiz, leading <a href="https://www.calciomercato.com/news/juventus-nuovi-contatti-per-douglas-luiz-non-solo-mckennie-spunt-21025" target="_blank"><em>Calciomercato</em></a> to suggest that they will look to sweeten a deal in other ways. They are reportedly prepared to add England U21 star Iling-Junior to the proposal that is being put to Villa.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Luiz, who has <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/arsenal-asking-price-aston-villa-douglas-luiz-join-juventus-transfer-race-brazil/bltf6f1ea999f58fc6d" target="_blank">also sparked talk of interest from Arsenal</a>, is currently away with Brazil. McKennie is <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/worrisome-usmnt-assessment-former-wonderkid-freddy-adu-christian-pulisic-gio-reyna-no-selection-threat-colombia/bltb7b4959d6849c331" target="_blank">also on Copa America duty in the States</a> and may need some convincing to head back to the Premier League having previously flopped in that division and suffered relegation during a forgettable loan spell at Leeds.</p>
