Juventus have set their sights upon a certain Inter and Tottenham Hotspur target, who was also once heavily linked with a move to the Italian capital to either Roma or Lazio.
2021/22 Europa League winner Filip Kostic is a wanted man, and suitors have accelerated their interest in him. The highly-rated Serbian wingback was close to moving to Lazio last season, only for the move to break down after the involved clubs pointed fingers at one another.
29-year-old Kostic wishes to star in the UEFA Champions League after having conquered Europe’s second-tier title against Rangers. According to La Gazzetta dello Sport (via TuttoJuve), the Bianconeri are looking to add more firepower to their wings, especially after the departures of Paulo Dybala and Federico Bernardeschi – both left-footed wizards who Juventus will have a hard time replacing.
Kostic’s contract expires at the end of next season, and his €20m transfermarkt value could very well be negotiated. However, it is understood that Frankfurt will do everything they can to keep him at the club.
The former Stuttgart and Hamburg player has 33 goals in 170 appearances for the west German giants, etching himself as a fan favorite in his four seasons so far.
