Leeds United 'eyeing Douglas Costa as Raphinha replacement'

Juventus attacker Douglas Costa is an option for Leeds United to replace Liverpool-linked Raphinha, according to a report.

Leeds United could reportedly target Juventus attacker Douglas Costa if they lose Raphinha during this summer's transfer window.

Liverpool are said to have placed Raphinha at the top of their transfer shortlist, with Reds boss Jurgen Klopp thought to be desperate to bring the Brazilian to Anfield.

According to Fichajes, the Whites are preparing for the possibility of losing the 24-year-old and have identified Costa as a possible acquisition ahead of the 2021-22 campaign.

The 30-year-old has a contract with Juve until the summer of 2022 but his future in Turin is unclear, having been allowed to join Bayern Munich last October on a season-long loan.

The experienced attacker has played 11 times for Bayern in the league this season but will allegedly not be purchased by the European champions on a permanent deal.

Costa has won two Bundesliga titles and three Serie A crowns over the last six years.
