Bayern Munich announce Douglas Costa return on loan from Juventus and signing of Choupo-Moting

Bayern Munich have announced Douglas Costa's return on loan from Juventus and the signing of former Paris Saint-Germain striker Eric Choupo-Moting.

Costa spent three years on Bayern's books before moving to Juve for €40 million (£36m/$47m) in the summer of 2018, after winning two Bundesliga titles and the DFB Cup.

The Brazilian has enjoyed similar success in Turin, picking up five trophies in total, including three successive Serie A crowns, but has fallen down the squad pecking order under new boss Andrea Pirlo.

Juve have allowed the 30-year-old to rejoin Bayern on loan until the end of the 2020-21 campaign in the hope of boosting his re-sale value, and he expressed his delight after being unveiled at Allianz Arena on deadline day.
