Juventus have reportedly set a price-tag of €8m on unwanted winger Filip Kostic, who is of interest to Crystal Palace.

The 31-year-old was purchased from Eintracht Frankfurt in 2022 for €14.7m plus up to €1.3m in performance-related bonuses.

He is currently out of action following a knee ligament injury that he sustained when representing Serbia at the EURO 2024 tournament this summer.

The left-sided wide man has made 87 competitive appearances for the Bianconeri, contributing three goals and 15 assists.

However, he dropped down the pecking order in recent months under previous coach Max Allegri and is not part of the plans for new boss Thiago Motta.

Kostic not part of Juventus plans

According to Calciomercato.com, Juve are hoping to get €8m from the sale of Kostic, also taking into consideration that his contract only runs to June 2026.

Crystal Palace would be an ideal solution, as he would reunite with former Eintracht Frankfurt manager Oliver Glasner.

It was under this coach that he scored seven goals and provided 16 assists in just 45 games.
