Roma have inquired about Filip Kostic as there’s a chance they’ll lose Leonardo Spinazzola in the final days of the summer. The Serb hasn’t played in the first two matches, where Massimiliano Allegri fielded Andrea Cambiaso and Samuel Iling instead. The two youngsters have fared well on the left wing.
According to TuttoSport, the deal would gain steam if the Italian international did depart. He has recently been linked to Manchester United. Other sides could come into the picture since he has only a year on his contract with the Giallorossi.
Roma would likely try to get Kostic on loan with an option to buy, and Juventus would have reservations about the formula. They’d prefer a permanent sale for €15M. They are hoping the bids start coming in from the Premier League.
In addition, the Giallorossi touched base with the entourage of Leonardo Bonucci, joining Lazio, Union Berlin, and Genoa in the race. At this stage, the veteran defender prefers their crosstown rivals because they play in the Champions League.
Our Take on Roma and Kostic
If there’s a side that likes to add veterans, that’s the capital club. It wouldn’t hurt to onboard a pristine crosser to feed Romelu Lukaku. Even though Cambiaso and Iling have been passable, something fishy is definitely going on with the Serb considering Allegri’s habits.
