Douglas Costa Joins Bayern on Loan from Juventus

Bayern Munich have announced on Monday the signing of Douglas Costa on a season-long loan deal from Serie A champions Juventus.

The Brazil international played for Bayern between 2015 and 2017, before moving to the Italian, initially on loan before joining them on a permanent basis.

Costa, 30, made 103 caps for Juventus across all competitions, netting 10 goals and claiming the Serie A title three times, as well as the Coppa Italia in 2018.

"I am very happy to play for Bayern again," he said. "I had a wonderful time in Munich with many successes and I am sure that we will win titles again now."

On his part, Sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic said: "Douglas will strengthen us on the outer flanks that are important for our game. We are now very well staffed with Serge Gnabry, Leroy Sane, Kingsley Coman, Jamal Musiala and Douglas."

"Douglas knows Bayern and will find his way around very quickly," he added.
