Just in time for the transfer period, there is once again speculation about a move from Filip Kostic to Italy. However, Eintracht Frankfurt fans can still hope for the top performer to stay.
After persistent rumors about a transfer from Filip Kostic to Serie A last summer, the left winger is currently being linked again with a commitment in Italy’s top division.
Juventus is currently the hottest contender for a Serb commitment. The “Gazzetta dello Sport” recently even reported that Kostic will sign a three-year contract in Turin and should collect 2.5 million euros per season. However, there could now be a reversal.
Noisy “skyÁngel Di María is on the verge of a move to Juventus. The 34-year-old initially hesitated after leaving Paris Saint-Germain as he was said to have hoped for an offer from FC Barcelona.
With Di María’s imminent arrival, “the position that Kostic could have filled would be closed for the time being,” says the TV station’s report, which speaks of “good news for all Eintracht fans.”
Eintracht Frankfurt: Kostic at the start of training?
So Kostic could ultimately stay with the SGE for another season. “No decision has been made yet,” said Frankfurt head coach Oliver Glasner on the unclear future of the 29-year-old: “Of course we can now talk about it every two days. On September 1st, when the transfer window closes, the squad will definitely be fixed.” “As of now,” he assumes “that Filip will come back on July 7th and be part of the training.”
Kostic still has a contract with the Hessians until 2023. In the past season, the left winger played 43 competitive games for Eintracht Frankfurt and played a key role in winning the Europa League thanks to his strong performances.
