Summary Costa has scored one goal and made four assists in 16 matches.
TURIN (AFP) - Juventus have activated the buy-out clause for Douglas Costa in a club record 46 million euro (54.8 million) deal for his German club Bayern Munich.
The 27-year-old Brazilian winger has been on loan at the Serie A champions since the beginning of the season.
Bayern boss Karl-Heinz Rummenigge confirmed late Friday Costa s departure in a sale that eclipses the Bundesliga champion s previous record of 25 million euros for both Germany s Toni Kroos to Real Madrid in 2014 and England s Owen Hargreaves to Manchester United in 2007.
Costa arrived in Germany from Ukrainian club Shakhtar Donetsk in 2015 for 30 million euros. But after a successful season in Munich under Pep Guardiola he fell out of favour with the Spaniard s successor Carlo Ancelotti.
Costa has scored one goal and made four assists in 16 matches for six-time reigning Italian champions Juventus.
