Douglas Costa has arrived for his medical and is expected to be announced as a Juventus player later today.
The Brazilian winger arrived in Turin last night on a private flight, along with Juve director Beppe Marotta, before being whisked off to his hotel.
Costa is expected to sign a year-long loan deal with Juve while a fixed obligation to buy is set at €40m.

What I like most about Costa is his strength and determination. He is also technically gifted. A massive upgrade to whichever flank he is deployed. If we can also add Bernardeschi, that will be two attacking positions massively improved…Superb work by Beppe and company.
just hope there will be no issues like in Schick’s case.I really want to know what happened there.
I have read a great deal of comments from Bayern supporters, who taking all into account thinks that he is a strong attacking force. However, was, as many before him, not able to find a foothold in the team after an injury. Some people point out that he might have weak mentality and poor crossings.
But he is definitely an upgrade to our current flanks. I hope that he will find support and inspirations in our strong unite and grow even stronger. Let him and the rest take us to another final
Best transfer so far, offensively Costa is a monster. I am so getting his yellow Juve away jersey. The club has elevated itself to a new height in my opinion. It took a few years to become financially stable but now they are only pursuing the top players. We as no longer trying to find the needle in a haystack but the cream of the crop! Costa is miles apart from cuadrado, really hope Juan is sold to arsenal as I rather see orsolini get some minutes. I think cuadrado peaked at fiorentina, you won’t see any improvement from him. Now we just need a right back and the team is all set.
Also need a DM, the main bother I have surmised with the side as a whole from last season. Without which, as good as the flanks will be and our attacking thrust through the middle we will be prone to the same jelly effect in the middle of the park if charged by powerful, determine opposition.
