Juventus need to raise their offer for Kostic – report

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.
