Juventus<\/a> winger Douglas Costa<\/a> has been offered to Wolverhampton Wanderers<\/a> ahead of the January transfer window closing in less than two weeks, according to Mike McGrath of The Daily Telegraph.<\/a><\/p>\n

The Brazilian – who is currently on loan at Bayern Munich<\/a> – could see his deal cut short, after just one start in the last two months for the German giants.<\/p>\n

Juventus Offer Wolverhampton Wanderers Chance to Sign Douglas Costa<\/h2>\n

Is Douglas Costa What Wolves Need Right Now?<\/h3>\n

With Adama Traore<\/a> failing to have the same impact as he did last season, a move for such a talented individual would be justified. The Spanish winger is yet to score and only has a single assist<\/a> to his name in his 18 starts this season, and is part of the reason why Wolves have struggled to maintain their high standards this season.<\/p>\n

The creative spark that is usually provided by the Spaniard has been missing this season, with Daniel Podence<\/a> and Pedro Neto<\/a> trying to step up to the mark, but the pair are also having difficulties in terms of goal contributions.<\/p>\n

A Striker Remains a Priority at Molineux<\/h3>\n

However, it has been the loss of Raul Jimenez<\/a> that has hurt Wolves the most. The Mexican forward has been out of action since fracturing his skull in early December. Since then, 18-year-old Fabio Silva<\/a> has been Nuno Esp\u00edrito Santo’s first and only real choice.<\/p>\n

Subsequently, it seems that a centre-forward is higher up on their priority list in this moment of time. The West Midlands club are closing in on the signing<\/a> of Real Sociedad’s Willian Jose<\/a> on loan with a view to buy. The Brazilian has scored 60 goals in five seasons with the Spanish side.<\/p>\n

It seems that if Wolves manage to secure the signing of Willian Jose in the coming days, they will explore the option to sign the Juventus winger too.<\/p>\n
