AC Milan looks for opportunities to strengthen the mercato further and improve the quality in all departments in order to stay in the top 4 and why not cling to the top of the Serie A league table. According to what is being reported by Tuttosport,, in the last few hours Milan has been evaluating Douglas Costa. A temptation for Scudetto, underlines the well-known sports newspaper.
The 30-year-old Brazilian is currently on loan at Bayern Munich, but the German club has already communicated to Juventus - club owner of the player's card - that they will not exercise the option to buy. Not only that: Bayern would be willing to let him leave as early as January. This is because Douglas is struggling to find space (just 19 appearances this season, only 6 as a starter) with the European champions.
Milan is aware of this situation and already tested the ground for a potential deal But there would be an obstacle, represented by the 6 million euros net per year that Costa receives. It is a too high of a salary for the Rossoneri. The temptation is still be strong, however. Therefore, watch out for possible developments on this market source, concluded the source.
