Manchester United are reportedly contemplating
an approach for Juventus winger Douglas
Costa.
The Premier League giants are currently in
the process of trying to negotiate a deal
for Borussia Dortmund winger Jadon Sancho,
who is keen to move to Old Trafford.
However, the two parties are yet to agree
a fee for the England international, with
a deadline set by Dortmund having passed on
Monday.
According to Tuttosport, United may press
ahead with trying to sign Costa as an alternative
to the £108m-rated 20-year-old.
Juventus are said to be prepared to sell the
Brazilian after Andrea Pirlo replaced Maurizio
Sarri as the club's head coach.
Having made just seven starts and 17 substitute
outings in Serie A and the Champions League
during the most recent campaign, the 29-year-old
would cost significantly less than Sancho.
