Juve revealed the retain an option to sign Costa outright for a further €40m.

"We had serious and constructive talks with the people in charge at Juventus," Bayern chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge told the club's official website.

"All the financial requirements of FC Bayern were fulfilled.

"We have accepted this and wish him and all his family the best for the future in Italy."

Costa follows Rodrigo Bentancur in signing for Juve in the transfer window, while Medhi Benatia and Juan Cuadrado have agreed permanent moves to the club following loans last season.
