Shakhtar Donetsk winger Douglas Costa is expected to undergo a medical soon ahead of his imminent move to Bayern Munich this summer.

Both the player and his agent have sought to cool down the rumours and though they have admitted to Bayern Munich’s interest, they have been insisting that no deal has been agreed yet.
 


However, Costa is edging towards a move to the German champions this summer and according to Sky Italia, he is slated to undergo a medical soon ahead of his imminent transfer to the Allianz Arena.
