Douglas Costa has joined his former club Bayern Munich on a season-long loan deal. Hansi Flick has been adamant about getting new additions and Bayern Munich are having quite a busy day in the transfer window.

Fabrizio Romano had claimed last night that Douglas Costa will fly to Bayern Munich today to undergo his medicals. It is a simple loan deal with no option or obligation to buy and Bayern Munich will pay no loan fee to Juventus either. He adds that Chupo Moting will join Bayern Munich as a free agent as well.

After managing to send Douglas Costa on loan to Bayern Munich, Juventus were finally able to make a breakthrough in their pursuit for Federico Chiesa. It was reported earlier today that following Costa's departure, there was only one thing holding up the deal.

Federico Chiesa will be joining Juventus on a two-year loan deal initially and then they will make the deal permanent by paying €50 million in instalments. However, Chiesa's current deal with Fiorentina will end next summer and as such, the club wanted him to sign an extension as otherwise, they'd lose out on a lot of money.

It looks like that has been sorted now and Fiorentina and Juventus have agreed on an initial loan deal with an obligation to buy for €50 million.

However, Fabrizio Romano now claims that the left-back won't be joining Juventus at all.

Romano says that no 'advanced' talks happened between the two clubs regarding the 26-year-old who has fallen down the pecking order under Frank Lampard and is currently third-choice behind Ben Chilwell and Marcos Alonso.
