Juventus is not only shelling out €28 million but also parting with Samuel Iling Jr and Enzo Barrenechea to secure the Brazilian midfielder. This deal underscores Juventus’s strategy to bolster their squad by adding Luiz’s flair to their midfield arsenal.

Meanwhile, the timing of the medical examination coincides with Brazil’s preparations for their upcoming Copa América match against Paraguay.

Despite the pending medical tests, which are yet to be decided whether they’ll occur at the hotel or a clinic, the Brazilian Football Confederation has greenlit Luiz’s temporary release for the checks.
