Juventus are expected to hold talks with Bayern Munich over a fee for Douglas Costa next week, after agreeing personal terms with the player's agent, according to Sky in Italy.

It is understood Juve officials agreed a package of £5.3m (€6m) per year for the player in a meeting with Costa's agent in Turin on Tuesday.

Bayern are believed to want £44m (€50m) for the Brazil international winger, but Champions League finalists and Serie A winners Juve are only willing to pay a maximum of £39.6m (€45m).
