FC Bayern Munich: Douglas Costa’s adviser is saying goodbye
Douglas Costa’s agent Giovanni Branchini expects a left-footed change in summer 2021. “Unfortunately Douglas doesn’t get a lot of playing time in Munich. That’s why I don’t believe that Bayern will sign him,” said Branchini TMW Radio. However, the Italian also said: “The season is still long and everyone knows that in sport sometimes only a week is enough for a trend reversal.”
FC Bayern loaned Costa a season from Juventus Turin shortly before the end of the transfer window in early October. So far, the 30-year-old professional from Brazil has hardly been used under coach Hansi Flick, with 538 minutes of play across all competitions he is clearly the number four winger behind Serge Gnabry (1293 minutes), Kingsley Coman (1021) and Leroy Sane (805).
In any case, Costa (one goal / one assist this season) has “the qualities” to assert himself. His problem in recent years: “He was often injured. That certainly made it difficult for him to bring consistency to his performances.” At Juventus, the former Brazilian international has a contract until June 30, 2022.

Star striker Robert Lewandowski from FC Bayern Munich does not see himself on the same level as Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo this year, despite winning the world footballer election this year. The Pole revealed in an interview with France Football.
“Messi and Ronaldo have been sitting at the same table for a long time, at the top. That’s what makes them incomparable,” said the 32-year-old: “I can’t imagine myself next to them in this regard.”
Nevertheless, the goalscorer of the German record champions sees himself on the right path. “If you look at the numbers for this year and last, I’m pretty good in terms of my performance and goals scored.” If he couldn’t sit at a table with the two superstars, “I’ll invite you to eat at mine,” added Lewandowski with a smile.
