Eintracht Frankfurt winger Filip Kostic doesn’t want to reflect on his failed move to Lazio in the summer.
Speaking in an interview with German newspaper Bild (via LazioNews24) earlier today, the 28-year-old Serbian winger commented on the collapsed talks between the German and Italian clubs in the summer transfer window this year.
