The parties agreed on a contract until June 2026
Former midfielder for Shakhtar, Bayern and Juventus Douglas Costa refused to switch to Turkish Samsunspor.
The parties agreed on a contract until June 2026 and scheduled a medical examination. However, the player himself canceled the deal.
The 33-year-old midfielder left the Los Angeles Galaxy in October and is a free agent. The Brazilian wanted to return to Juventus, but the Turin club considered it inappropriate to sign him.
Costa played for Shakhtar from 2010 to 2015. He has 38 goals and 40 assists in 203 matches for the Donetsk team. Together with Shakhtar, Douglas became the champion of Ukraine five times and won the Ukrainian Cup three times. In 2015, the Pitmen sold Douglas to Bayern Munich for €30 million.
Samsunspor is in 15th place in the Turkish Super League.
