Juventus are willing to send Douglas Costa to Manchester United as part of their offer for Paul Pogba.

The Mirror says Pogba had spent four years with Juve after being sold to them by United for £1.5m in 2012, and the Italian club are keen on bringing him back to Italy this summer.

It is now understood that Juve have stepped up their pursuit with the club's sporting director Fabio Paratici recently meeting with United officials in England to discuss a potential deal.

It is claimed that Juve's opening offer is expected to be in the region of €130 million to €140m.

Gazzetta dello Sport has claimed that Costa, the former Bayern Munich winger, is the man who could be included as a sweetener for the deal.
