Douglas Costa: 'I have not joined Bayern Munich'

Shakhtar Donetsk midfielder Douglas Costa refutes recent speculation that he has already signed for Bayern Munich.

Douglas Costa has insisted that he has not yet signed for Bayern Munich, but has admitted that he would jump at the chance to join the Bavarians.

The Shakhtar Donetsk midfielder has been heavily linked with a move to the Allianz Arena in recent days, with his club effectively confirming the deal on Friday.

However, the 24-year-old, who was part of the Brazil side that exited the Copa America on Saturday, says that he will clarify his future upon returning from Chile.

"Up to now, they have not come to an agreement yet," Costa told Bild.

"Discussions have taken place between my club and Bayern, but so far I know nothing more than the interest of FC Bayern.

"I have been focused on the Copa America. After my time here [in Chile], I'll talk to my agent. Who would not like to play at Bayern?"

Costa is contracted to the Ukrainian giants until 2018.
