Juventus have informed Manchester United they can sign Douglas Costa - just not next month.

Calciomercato.com says he CAN move to the Premier League - but not now.

The Brazilian has played only 16 matches in all competitions for Juve this season having made his loan deal permanent in the summer.

Costa has made 12 Serie A appearances this term but has come off the bench nine times, leading to speculation that he doesn't have a long-term future in Turin.

But Juventus now say they have no intention of letting him go until the summer at least - as he is still integral to their Champions League plans.

And on top of that Costa has told his agent that he doesn't want to leave Turin.
