Douglas Costa: Sydney FC sign former Juventus and Bayern star in coup for A-League
Highly-decorated Brazilian arrives at Sky Blues from Fluminense33-year-old who has won 24 trophies hailed as ‘world class’
Sydney FC have signed former Juventus and Bayern Munich star Douglas Costa in a massive recruitment coup for the A-League Men. Costa joins the ALM heavyweights as a marquee player for two seasons after being released early from his contract by Brazilian club Fluminense in July.
The 33-year-old winger will land in Sydney as their biggest signing since Italian Alessandro Del Piero in 2012. It comes after the Australian Professional Leagues slashed club distribution to just $530,000, down on close to $2m handed out last season.
