The ex-Shakhtar player is in free agent status and agrees to a salary of 100 thousand euros
Juventus does not intend to sign the Brazilian midfielder Douglas Costa during the winter transfer window.
The 33-year-old midfielder left the Los Angeles Galaxy in October and became a free agent. The Brazilian wants to return to Juventus, for whom he previously played, and agrees to a contract from January to June 2024 with a salary of 100 thousand euros.
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.
In May 2023, the court of the Brazilian state of Rio Grande do Sul issued an order for the arrest of Douglas Costa for failure to pay child support.. It was reported that if the footballer were returned to Brazil, he would be arrested by any judicial officer or police authority.
Juventus is in second place in Serie A with 26 points. The next match will see the Bianconeri host Cagliari on November 11.
