Filip Kostic had a solid first season at Juventus, but he might be on the move if the management received a strong offer. He logged 3 goals and 11 assists while serving as the workhorse on the left wing in 2022/2023.
According to TuttoSport, most of their veterans are potentially available to reduce the wage bill and give more playing time to the youngsters. The brass has been particularly impressed by Andrea Cambiaso during the summer. Samuel Iling also plays in the same role.
Juventus have slapped a €20M price tag on Kostic. There have been inquiries from Nottingham Forest and Wolfsburg. More, Saudi intermediaries collected info about him.
The Bianconeri spent €13M to acquire him from Eintracht Frankfurt after a lengthy negotiation. He has three more years on his contract.
Our Take on Juventus and Kostic
Turning a profit on a 30-year-old would be a nifty piece of business, but they’d need a stroke of luck, perhaps coming from the petrodollars, for that to happen. His departure would have had more logic earlier on if they could still sign a true difference-maker like Carlos Augusto, who wasn’t even that expensive. Instead, their two youngsters need more seasoning to be handed the full-time job, even though the upcoming campaign will be peculiar without the cups.
