The Italian side have agreed to pay a loan fee of €6 million, and the club has an obligation to buy Costa for a fee of €40m.

The Brazil international struggled for game time throughout the 2016-17 season, making just 23 Bundesliga appearances, though he did score four goals and provided six assists.

Once his loan is complete Costa will sign a five-year permanent contract, worth €6m per year.

Juve have embarked on an aggressive summer of recruitment, signing Juan Cuadrado on a permanent deal from Chelsea, Rodrigo Bentancur from Boca Juniors and Medhi Benatia from Bayern.

Bayern appear to have already signed the Brazilian's replacement, confirming the acquisition of James Rodriguez on an initial loan deal on Tuesday.

Costa, who was also linked with Tottenham, has made a total of 77 appearances for Bayern, scoring 14 goals, and also made over 200 appearances for Shakhtar Donetsk in Ukraine.

Real Madrid are reportedly considering the possibility of re-signing Achraf Hakimi just a year after selling him to Inter Milan. According to a report from Spanish publication  El Gol Digital , reigning La Liga champions Real Madrid are keen on bringing Achraf Hakimi back to the club from Serie A giants Inter Milan. Having come through the youth ranks at Real Madrid, Hakimi made his senior debut in October 2017 but managed only 17 appearances before he was sent out on a two-year loan spell at Borussia Dortmund in 2018. The right-back thrived in Germany, establishing himself as a key member for the Bundesliga outfit. After two very productive seasons during which he scored 12 goals and registered 17 assists in 73 games for Dortmund, Hakimi returned to Real Madrid last summer only to be sold to Serie A giants Inter Milan. The Moroccan international has thrived in Italy as well, producing a return of six goals and assists apiece in 36 games so far in 2020/21. Now, just a year after ha...

Neymar ‘90%’ to leave Barcelona this summer Neymar’s chances of leaving Barcelona in this summer’s transfer window are “90%”, Sky Sports reports. It is understood he has decided to leave the club after becoming increasingly frustrated at “playing second fiddle” to Lionel Messi. “Only a miracle will keep him, he really has made up his mind to leave,” a source tells Skite Sports. “At the age of 25, he thinks it’s his time to win the Ballon d’Or,” the source adds. “He believes he can be the best player in the world at another big club.” It is understood Paris Saint-Germain remain the only current club willing to meet the player’s €222m (£196m) release clause, with Chelsea and Manchester United unwilling to do so. It is also claimed Neymar is aware that a “growing number” of supporters do not want him to stay, with recent media polls in Globo Esporte and the Barcelona-based Sport newspaper revealing that the majority of those asked thin...
