Douglas Costa is a free agent after finishing up his contract with the Los Angeles Galaxy and offered his services to Juventus. The Bianconeri had a lukewarm response, even though he would join gratis. He’d like to return to Turin, as Federico Bernardeschi is trying to do, Goal reports.
The Brazilian winger has played his last game with the MLS franchise since they didn’t qualify for the playoffs. He will formally become a free agent at the end of the year. Therefore, the Old Lady would just need to agree on his wages to onboard him.
Douglas Costa spent three years at Juventus from 2017 to 2020. He contributed to three Scudetti, two Coppe Italia, and one Supercoppa Italiana. He was rarely an integral part of the squad due to continuous muscular injuries. The speedster tallied 10 goals and 21 assists in 103 appearances.
The 34-year-old starred for a season with Bayern Munich and then with Gremio before moving to the United States. He’s currently drawing interest from Saudi Arabia. He hit the net 4 times and set up 7 teammates in 22 games in the most recent campaign.
Our Take on Juventus and Douglas Costa
While bringing back Bernardeschi could have some logic tactically considering his versatility, adding a washed-up winger who’s a poor fit for the scheme does not. If nobody gets seriously hurt, they are fine as is offensively.
