Brazil attacker Douglas Costa believes his nation have the quality to win the 2018 World Cup in Russia.
The South Americans last won the crown in 2002, while they were humiliated on home soil two years ago in an embarrassing 7-1 semi-final loss to Germany.
"I'm world champion with Brazil [in 2018]," he told Abendzeitung.
"We have what it takes in the team. There is a big quality with players like Neymar and [Philippe] Coutinho. The new coach is also good.
"If we find ourselves as a team, we are among the favourites."
"There are no reasons why I should leave Bayern," Costa said.
"I had a very good first season, have made my contribution to titles and I have felt very comfortable here from the beginning."
Costa could make his return from injury in Bayern's clash against Schalke in the Bundesliga on Friday.
