The cost of that operation was spread out with a €6m payment to take him on loan and agreement to add another €40m this summer.
Douglas Costa has been a sensation at Juve with six goals and 14 assists in 47 competitive games.
His extraordinary pace and crossing skills made him a fan favourite and he was instrumental in a seventh consecutive Scudetto.
