Juventus have activated the buy-out clause for Douglas Costa in a club record 46 million euro (54.8 million) deal for his German club Bayern Munich.

The 27-year-old Brazilian winger has been on loan at the Serie A champions since the beginning of the season.

Bayern boss Karl-Heinz Rummenigge confirmed late Friday Costa's departure in a sale that eclipses the Bundesliga champion's previous record of 25 million euros for both Germany's Toni Kroos to Real Madrid in 2014 and England's Owen Hargreaves to Manchester United in 2007.
