Juventus are scheduled to meet with Bayern Munich in the coming week to submit a bid for Douglas Costa.

Various news outlets in Italy report that Juve are keen on the winger and are actively pursuing an early transfer in an effort to secure the player ahead of the start of the transfer market.

The Brazilian winger is not part of Carlo Ancelotti’s plans for the future and Tuttosport report that Juve directors are heading to Munich to try and reach an agreement for the player.

It’s reported Juve will submit an offer of €30m plus performance-related bonuses and given the good relations between the two sides, a transfer could be finalised soon.

Costa has scored seven goals and provided nine assists in 34 competitive games this season and is a favourite of Max Allegri’s who sees him as a perfect attacking option, given his ability to play on either flank or as a second striker.
