Gremio Vice-President Marcos Hermann revealed they are close to signing Douglas Costa. ‘Now,it all depends on Juventus’.
The Brazilian winger was loaned out to Bayern Munich ahead of the current campaign but has only played 11 times in the German Bundesliga this term.
Reports emerged the former Brazil international is close to Gremio and the Vice-President confirmed they are negotiating with the former Shakhtar Donetsk player.
“We were invited to go to Douglas’ house to talk about it,” Hermann told Globo Esporte. “He has mage a huge concession, compared to what he earns in Europe.
“We have improved our offer a little and we are a lot closer. I would say this: He will now try to be freed from Juventus.
“If Juventus release him, I’m sure we will reach an agreement. All thanks to the effort he made and what Gremio are doing.
“But I assure you that the offer falls within our economic possibilities.”
