Juventus are working hard to try and agree a move for Eintracht Frankfurt winger Filip Kostic but they’ll reportedly need to improve their bid if they want to secure a deal.
The Bianconeri have identified the 29-year-old Serbian winger as the perfect option to shore up their front line ahead of the upcoming season, and they’ve already agreed personal terms with the player. Kostic has seemingly agreed to a three-year contract worth €3.5m net per season and now he’s waiting for a deal to be agreed with Eintracht Frankfurt.
As reported by Tuttosport, Juventus’ current bid of €12m plus add-ons has not been enough to convince Eintracht Frankfurt to give up on Kostic, so they’ll need to edge closer to the player’s €20m price tag if they want to close out a deal.
The Bianconeri are hoping to integrate the Serbian winger into their squad ahead of the season opener against Sassuolo, so they’ll need to move fast if they want to finalise the operation next week. A new meeting has been scheduled between the parties.
Not a big deal.
Lord Allegri will provide the balance needed to secure Kostic out of all the millions he has made from trolling Juve on FI.
I really hope we don’ sign this beyond average player. If you haven’t progressed beyond Frankfurt when your 29, you’re just not good enough for Juve. Same goes for Paredes. I hope we sign Raspadori or Zaniolo and Jorginho instead. But It’s looking grim.
@Zambrotta
I Agree with Zaniolo or Raspadori
but Jorginho is over-rated and the main reason Italy is not in the World Cup. he loses too many balls and can’t defend and is slow and etc.
Giving the chance to Fagioli or Rovella is a safer bet
Kostic would be a good squad player for Juve and a good signing at 12M. No way we should pay anything close to 20M. Use that extra money to secure Raspadori who is obviously significantly better and worthy of a starting role

Couldn’t have said it better
Thank u
Zambrotta
Before I recommend or refuse a player, Inalways look up their stats. Zaniolo is overrated. 50M for a striker that scored 2 goals last season in Serie A is a joke. Kostic was solid, had great stats, comes for a small fee and was the player of the season in Europa League. I do agree on Raspadori and Joninho.
