Douglas Costa, 26, joined Bayern Munich in the summer of 2015 from Shakhtar Donetsk for €30 million. After a fairly successful first season (43 matches/7 goals), Costa suffered several injuries last season and has now lost his starting position in Carlo Ancelotti's team.

According to Reuters, Bayern Munich has agreed to loan Costa to Juventus for one year for €6 million, with an option to buy him permanently for €40 million in the summer of 2018. Costa passed his medical examination on July 12th and will wear the number 11 shirt at Juventus.
