Bayern Munich winger Douglas Costa has told Juventus he wants to join the club.

According to reports in Italy, the 26-year-old has given his approval for a move but a fee is yet to be agreed between the two giants of European football.

The Brazilian is valued at £44million by the Bavarian side and Juventus are thought to have come in with a bid of £31m.

The front page of La Gazzetta Dello Sport said: 'Douglas Costa says yes to Juventus'

According to La Gazetta dello Sport, Costa's agent met with Juventus officials on Tuesday and told them of his client's intention of a move to Turin.

Carlo Ancelotti's side seem unlikely to lose money from their initial outlay on Costa after the club splashed out £30m on him from Shakhtar Donetsk in 2015.

But with the likes of Kingsley Coman waiting in the wings, Bayern are well equipped in attack and appear amenable to a deal.

Costa is understood to have rejected an approach from Inter Milan, preferring the Bianconeri

The 26-year-old made 34 appearances and contributed with seven goals last season

Juventus is Costa's preferred destination after he rejected an approach from Inter Milan.

Despite failing to nail down regular starts last season, Costa still played his part in the campaign, making a total of 34 appearances in all competitions.

Costa chipped in with seven goals and provided nine assists as the Bavarian side cruised to another title defence in the Bundesliga.
