Douglas Costa will complete the transfer to Gremio within 48 hours
Douglas Costa is expected to complete his move to Gremio within 48 hours, said the vice-president of the Brazilian club.
The 30-year-old joined Bayern Munich on loan from Juventus this October, but the Bavarians had informed the Serie A giants that they would not buy the player.
The Brazilian is now expected to return to his former club Gremio on a free transfer.
“Negotiations are underway. Juventus have officially authorized us to make a deal with the player,” Gremio vice-president Marcos Herrmann told Globo Esporte.
“We are waiting for the documentation, which should arrive on Tuesday or Wednesday, and there is enough time to register the player before the deadline. We are optimistic.”
Douglas Costa’s contract with Juventus expires in 2022, but the Bianconeri will end the deal with the Brazilian winger a year ago.
