Douglas Costa and Fluminense had already agreed on the termination of his contract, and according to several media outlets in Brazil, it has now been officially signed, making the 33-year-old forward a free agent on the market.

The 33-year-old attacker played only 22 games (with one assist) for Flu, winning the Recopa Sudamericana. Despite his limited appearances, Costa's experience and skills were considered valuable, but injuries and other factors led to his reduced playing time.

Douglas Costa's career has been notable for his stints at top European clubs. He played for Bayern Munich, where he was known for his speed, dribbling, and ability to deliver precise crosses. His time at Juventus saw him further establish himself as a versatile winger capable of playing on both flanks and contributing to the team's success in Serie A and other competitions.

Before his tenure in Europe, Costa started his professional career at Grêmio in Brazil, where he quickly gained attention for his technical abilities and potential. His performances earned him a move to Shakhtar Donetsk in Ukraine, where he continued to develop and showcased his talent on the European stage, winning multiple league titles and domestic cups.

Internationally, Costa represented Brazil, earning caps and participating in major tournaments such as the Copa América and the World Cup. His international experience added to his reputation as a seasoned professional capable of performing at the highest levels of the game.

With his contract now terminated, Douglas Costa is free to explore new opportunities. His availability is expected to attract interest from clubs in various leagues, including potential moves back to Europe, other South American teams, or even ventures into North American leagues like MLS.

As a free agent, Costa's next move will be closely watched by fans and analysts, eager to see where the talented winger will continue his career and potentially make an impact with a new team.
