“The strongest companion is Paulino, Dybala. Then of course also Ronaldo,” he said during a live chat. Paulo Dybala has been in the club since 2017 after he was taken to the Bianconeri thought a loan. Whereas Cristiano Ronaldo moved to Turin in 2018 later for a reported deal worth €112million. CR7 broke his nine-year-long stint with Real Madrid and then joined Juventus.

As of now, the live-action in Italy has been called off for an indefinite period of time due to the menace of the coronavirus. However, the players are waiting to get back to action and same is the case with Douglas Costa. "I can't wait to go back, partly because I don't know what to do here anymore," he said during the live chat.
