Filip Kostic might exit Juventus in the final hours of the window, provided some clubs meet his valuation. The Bianconeri ask for €15M to part ways with the Serb. The sum would allow them to net a small profit since they spent €13M to onboard him from Eintracht Frankfurt last summer.
According to TuttoSport, West Ham and Galatasaray have shown the most interest among his suitors so far. The Cimbom might accelerate after securing the qualification to the group stage of the Champions League. They lost Nicolò Zaniolo earlier in the summer.
The Premier League side touched base recently to inquire about the terms to sign Kostic from Juventus. They’ll star in the Europa League after defeating Fiorentina in the final of the third-tier competition.
Despite the buzz, the winger and the Old Lady are watching the situation without particular angst. They’d both be fine continuing together. The fee from his sale isn’t a game-changer for the club’s finances. Should he stay put, he’ll resume seeing minutes against Empoli in the upcoming match.
Our Take on Juventus and Kostic
He’s not the most modern player, but he’s perfectly fine for his role. The reasons for his prospective sale are chiefly economic, especially because the Bianconeri wouldn’t need to replace him, as they’d go with their young guns on the left flank.
