Douglas Costa's name has made a comeback in the last days of the mercato. The Brazilian has not been a protagonist at Bayern Munich so far; it is an understandable path in the face of a team that has won everything with many important and great players.
But the season is long, which is why Bayern did not want to deprive themselves in January and decided with Juve to postpone the decision to June, that is when the next step for the Brazilian winger will really be understood. He is far from certain to remaining at Bayern.
For their part, AC Milan have been included among the interested clubs in the services of Douglas Costa but they have never taken real and concrete steps to sign him in the recent mercato.
Clearly the appreciation from Milan was there for the player and it remains. But, in that role of a winger, there are several options which led the managers not to intervene on that front. It is better to give continuity to the current players at Stefano Pioli's disposal, especially knowing that Bayern would not have wanted to release Douglas Costa in the middle of the season.
It is no coincidence that Mario Mandzukic arrived who can also be used as a winger if necessary. The decision on Douglas Costa will be taken in June, meanwhile Bayern and Juventus did not want to discuss the current situation now. This was reported by journalist Fabrizio Romano.
