Juventus want ‘swap deal’ with Aston Villa for midfielder

Juventus are repotedly considering a swap deal with Aston Villa involving Moise Kean and midfielder Douglas Luiz.

That’s according to CalcioMercatoWeb (via HITC), which claims that the Italian giants are looking into the possibility of a swap deal between the two players to bring Luiz to Turin.

Juve are on the brink of signing Kean on a permanent deal from Everton after he joined on a two-year loan deal with an obligation to buy.

But it’s been reported that Juve may look to move Kean following the completion of the deal, and that he could be offered to Aston Villa as part of a swap deal with Luiz.

Villa in the ‘lead’ to land midfielder

Elsewhere, Villa could be in the lead in the race to sign Brighton midfielder Yves Bissouma.

The midfielder has attracted plenty of attention after his excellent season with the Seagulls, who were rather excellent overall.

And according to journalist Dean Jones, it could be Villa who are leading the race with Gerrard keen to land a deep-lying midfielder this summer.

“They’ll have massive competition to sign Bissouma and it seems that he’s probably further along in negotiations with other clubs,” Jones told GiveMeSport.

“Somebody like Aston Villa might already be in the lead with trying to get him.”
