Douglas Costa's agent sees player's future away from Bayern

Douglas Costa, 30, arrived at Bayern last October on loan from Juventus, but everything seems to suggest his second spell at the German side will end soon. 

At least that is what his agent, Giovanii Branchini, thinks:"It looks difficult. I don't want to make a prediction because things can change in sport," he told 'TuttoMercato'. 

The Brazilian international has little chance of staying at Bayern because of his lack of protagonism. Flick no longer counts on him so he will have to return to Italy. 

"He's got quality, but he hasn't played regularly recently. His short periods of time on the pitch indicate that a longer stay is unlikely," Branchini said. 

Douglas Costa has only made two Bundesliga starts although he has played seven times in all. He has scored once.
