“A contract has already been signed,” Aston Villa announces as they pull off impressive transfers

Three new acquisitions for Aston Villa are about to be finalized, while Douglas Luiz is about to finish his significant departure from the team.

In the first several weeks of the summer 2024 transfer season, West Midlands chiefs have been working diligently to ensure Villa complies with Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR). In light of this, Birmingham Live is aware that they will be safe thanks to the cash-plus-players swap agreement for Luiz’s exit.

Thus, there is a lot of positive news coming up ahead of Sunday, which is the deadline for sealing the transfers so that they may be formally included in the 2023–24 campaign’s operations.

Giving a status report on two items of business, Fabrizio Romano states that the Luiz swap agreement is almost ready for public release.

All documents are believed to have been approved and signed by the clubs. It is said that they have reached an agreement on a transfer of all three players and a cost of €28 million (£23.6 million).

The Brazilian midfielder for Villa, who is now representing his nation in the Copa America, has apparently signed a five-year contract after receiving a visit from a Juventus physician in the US. Samuel Iling-Junior and Enzo Barrenechea are rumored to have successfully finished their individual medical examinations and are on their way to joining Unai Emery’s team from the Turin club.

In a related £37.5 million agreement, Romano claims that Ian Maatsen of Chelsea has signed a six-year contract within the previous 48 hours and would shortly join Villa as a player. The Dutchman would thus be prepared for an official declaration. He was a member of Ronald Koeman’s Netherlands team that advanced to the Round of 16 at Euro 2024.

The four players involved will add to Villa’s already hectic summer. Last weekend saw the formal signing of Lewis Dobbin from Everton and Tim Iroegbunam, who moved the other way to Goodison Park.
