Midfielder Juventus Douglas Costa hopes to hold in the Turin club for many years to come.

Last summer, midfielder Douglas Costa joined Juventus from Bavaria on loan with a redemption option.

"I can not say in words what it means to me to play for Juventus. I did not even know how great the passion of fans to the players. I am proud of the opportunity to wear the T-shirt of Juventus, especially after the transition from the team of the scale of Bavaria, "- said Costa.

"Juventus is a grandee of the first magnitude, and to achieve results with him is a miracle. I am very pleased with everyone and I hope that I will spend many more years here. I think, like all teammates, I'm an important football player who has the qualities necessary for Juventus. It's like marriage. We need each other".

Earlier, the chairman of the board of Bavaria Karl-Heinz Rummenigge said that Juventus decided to activate the option of redemption, which is prescribed in the lease agreement of Douglas Costa.
