Juventus sign Douglas Costa from Bayern Munich

The Selecao international moves to Turin on a one-year loan that could turn into a permanent transfer should the Old Lady meet his option fee

Juventus have announced the signing of Brazilian attacker Douglas Costa from Bayern Munich.

The 26-year-old wideman spent two seasons at the Allianz Arena after moving from Shakhtar Donetsk.

But after an uneven campaign in 2016-17 he has now been released on an initial one-year loan to the Serie A champions.

Juve will pay €6 million for the star at first, while the deal also includes a purchase option valued at €40m after the year is up.
