Exclusive: Juventus to meet with €50m Bayern wantaway's agent
Fabrizio Romano reveals that Costa is Coach Max Allegri’s top priority, and Costa’s agent has flown to Italy in the last few hours.
Remember, both Liverpool and Manchester United have expressed an interest in the former Shakhtar Donetsk midfielder.
Trouble is, Bayern Munich want €50 million for their man, and consider the winger-cum-attacking midfielder to be a prized asset, despite the fact that he’s not been a regular feature this season under Carlo Ancelotti.
The 26-year-old only started 14 Bundesliga games this season - scoring four times - and four Champions League games, netting twice. He is desperate to play at the next World Cup.
Though the Old Lady is also working to nab Federico Bernardeschi, she won’t match that price-tag, and Costa is also asking to be paid Higuain money (nearly), a.k.a. €7 million a season.
Juventus are looking to rebuild after losing the recent Champions League final to Real Madrid.
