Filip Kostić basically agreed on a change with Juventus Turin. But now Frankfurt’s offensive star is about to turn around.
Despite advanced negotiations with Juventus, Filip Kostić is now leaning towards extending his contract at Eintracht Frankfurt. This is reported by the TV station Sport1 and refers to the Serb’s environment.
Accordingly, Eintracht Kostić wants to submit a new contract offer for improved salaries and a term until 2026. The winger is reportedly willing to accept it. Kostić is expected to earn around five million euros in the future. According to Sport1, nothing has been signed yet.
Juve is the fee too high
Reason for rethinking: Juve is not willing to pay the required transfer fee of 18 million euros for the 29-year-old.
“Filip is here. He feels good and knows what he has in us,” said Eintracht’s sports director Markus Krösche at the SBU training camp in Windischgarsten, Austria.
Kostić’s current contract with the Europa League winners expires next year. Frankfurt could only receive a decent transfer fee in this transfer period. Or extend it with him, which it now looks more like.
In a recent Sky interview, coach Oliver Glasner was confident about the player’s whereabouts: “As of now, he is our player and I assume that he will be for a long time. From a sporting point of view, it is very clear: I want to that Filip stays.” Kostić switched from Hamburger SV to Hessen in 2018 – and now seems to be staying longer.
