Aston Villa has officially acquired Danish international forward Amalie Vangsgaard from Juventus on a permanent deal. The transfer was finalized Wednesday morning for an undisclosed fee.
The 29-year-old leaves Turin after a highly productive two-year run that began in 2024. Vangsgaard made 74 appearances across all competitions for the Italian club and scored 16 goals, helping secure the 2024/25 Serie A title alongside two domestic cups.
Now she shifts to England. Aston Villa is aggressively restructuring its offensive lineup following a disappointing ninth-place finish last season. The front office recently brought in Kamilla Melgård. Vangsgaard adds another immediate scoring threat to the roster.
Vangsgaard made her intentions clear about the move. She called the Women’s Super League a “very strong league” and described Villa’s ambitions for the future as a “cool journey to be jumping on to.”
Marisa Ewers, Aston Villa’s Director of Women’s Football, backed the acquisition. She pointed to the forward’s proven quality and top-level European experience as critical elements for the squad’s depth heading into the new campaign.
Back in Italy, Juventus now faces the challenge of replacing a selfless attacker who had become central to their frontline rotation.
