Online gambling sites in Germany report that FC Bayern Munich have officially announced their new signing, Douglas Costa. According to the most credible sources, the Bavarian side paid around EUR 30 million transfer fee to Shakhtar Donetsk for the signature of the 24 year-old Brazilian attacking midfielder.
Douglas Costa has signed a 5-year deal with Pep Guardiola’s team and expects to become one of the most important players of the squad starting from the next season. Gaming news report that Costa said he was extremely happy that the two sides managed to agree on terms and that the transfer was realized. “A dream has come true for me today” he said.
High hopes for the young Brazilian
Douglas Costa has been regarded as a wonder kid ever since he debuted at Brazilian team Grémio at the age of 18. He was linked with the best and most prestigious European clubs, yet he refused to join many of them and decided to move to Ukraine to play for Shakhtar Donetsk. He believed that was the right move for his improvement.
Right now, he seems to have been right. Ukrainian gambling news report that he joined Shakhtar in 2010, and became key member immediately. He won the Ukrainian Premier League 5 times in a row, the Ukrainian Cup 3 times in a row and the Ukrainian Super Cup 3 times with his club. Douglas Costa participated in a total of 201 matches, and scored 38 goals in those games. And now he joined German champion FC Bayern Munich where he will aim to make further history.
