Italian side Juventus have completed the £42.35m (€50 million) signing of Aston Villa midfielder Douglas Luiz.
The Brazilian, 26, has signed a five-year deal with the Serie A club, ending his stay at Villa Park.
Luiz, who has been capped 15 times by his country, scored 22 goals in 204 appearances for Villa, who signed him from Manchester City in 2019.
The midfielder completed his medicals in the US where he is on Copa America duties with Brazil
“I’m really happy to be a Bianconero. I can’t wait to play in the Allianz Stadium. See you soon and Forza Juve!” said Luiz in a video on social media.
Luiz scored nine goals in 35 Premier League matches last term as Villa qualified for the Champions League for the first time by finishing fourth.
However, Villa’s pressing need to comply with Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR) meant they had to cash in on one of their key players.
PSR rules permit losses of no more than £105m over three years for Premier League clubs.
Villa have already sold midfielder Tim Iroegbunam to Everton for a reported £9m, while Chelsea have completed a £19m move for their 18-year-old attacking midfielder Omari Kellyman.
