MUNICH (AP) — Bayern Munich signed forwards Douglas Costa and Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting on Monday as the European champions add extra squad depth to cope with a punishing schedule.
Costa returns to Bayern on a season-long loan from Juventus for his second stint with the club. He gives Bayern coach Hansi Flick more options on the wings in a shortened season with a congested calendar.
“I’m very happy to be playing for FC Bayern again. I had a wonderful time in Munich with lots of successes and I’m sure we’ll win titles again,” Costa said on the club website.
