Juventus are monitoring the situation of Bayern Munich winger Douglas Costa who is reportedly set to leave the German champions in the summer.
According to Bild, the Bianconeri have requested information on the Brazilian winger who is believed to be unhappy at Die Roten and angling for a move away.
Speaking after Bayern’s 5-1 hammering of Arsenal, Costa said: “I speak to the club often. We talk about my situation, if I’ll stay here or if I have to find another team to play for. I’m not always that happy here. But soon we will find a situation.”
Both Bild and UK based daily rag ‘The Sun’ report that the Brazilian is unhappy playing second-fiddle to Franck Ribery and Arjen Robben and is growing ever more frustrated at his limited playing time.
Given Juve’s dealings with Bayern and the impending conclusion of Kinglsey Coman’s transfer to Germany on a permanent basis, the Bianconeri are reportedly in the lead to sign Costa if he does vie for a move away this summer.
Can’t see this happening but if it does it would be so sexy! Costa is way better than Cuadrado, imagine him and Pjaca on the wings!! I’d say this move has about 10% chance of materializing, Bayern wouldn’t be this stupid. Both robben and Ribery are over 33 years old.
Agreed, Costa proved he is more then capable last year when Ribery and Robben were both hurt for Bayern; I don’t see them letting him leave…
They need to start rotating him in over one of those two…
I don’t see him choosing us ahead of PL or China. Don’t forget that in the end of the day he is Brazilian. They always choose the money before “meaningless” things like glory, fame and trophies.
If it would happen it would be an amazing signing. Which would mean the end of either Mandzukic or John Square.
I dont know about that, but I still prefer Juventus go with Italian talent. Perhaps Orsolini isn’t ready yet, but I guess one of Berrardi or Bernardeschi will do just fine.
