Juventus will meet Bayern Munich’s top brass next week over the possibility of signing Tottenham Hotspur linked Douglas Costa, according to Italian outlet Calcio Mercato.
Bayern Munich are open to letting Costa leave in the summer, with the winger making 39 appearances in all competitions during the 2016/17 campaign, scoring seven goals and providing nine assists.
Premier League giants Tottenham have been credited with showing an interest in Costa, whose present contract with the German champions runs until 2020.
But it has been claimed that the positive relationship between Juventus and Bayern Munich could facilitate the Brazil international’s move to Turin, locking Tottenham out of the race.
The Bianconeri, who will be playing Real Madrid in the Champions League final on Saturday, could make their first official bid for Costa when they meet Bayern Munich’s hierarchy next week.
