Juventus have confirmed the signing of Douglas Costa from Bayern Munich.
The 26-year-old Brazilian spent two seasons with the Bundesliga champions, after moving from Shakhtar Donetsk.
He will now join Juve on an initial one-year loan. The Serie A outfit
will pay €6million for the winger at first, while the deal also includes
a purchase option valued at €40m after the year is up.
The option to buy becomes mandatory, after Costa reaches a set number of appearances.
Bayern CEO, Karl Heinz Rummenigge, said: “We have held some serious and constructive talks with the Juventus representatives.
“All the financial demands of FC Bayern have been fulfilled. I want to thank Douglas for his performances.
“After two successful seasons with four titles he wanted to accept a new
challenge. We accepted this and wish him, together with his family, all
the best in Italy.”
