Shakhtar’s ex-midfielder will soon undergo a medical examination
Former midfielder for Shakhtar, Bayern and Juventus Douglas Costa reached a verbal agreement to transfer to Fluminense.
The Brazilian club is preparing a medical examination for the player. Costa will fly to Brazil in the coming days to finalize the deal.
Previously, the midfielder refused to move to Turkish Samsunspor. The parties agreed on a contract until 2026, but the player 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.
Fluminense took seventh place in the Brazilian Serie A. The new season in the Brazilian Championship starts in April.
