Eintracht Frankfurt left midfielder Filip Kostic arrived in Turin on Thursday to finalize his transfer to Juventus, the Italian club announced by broadcasting images of the 29-year-old Serbian international.
“Filip Kostic arrived at Caselle airport for the medical visit to Juve“, announced the “Old lady“on its site, including broadcasting a video of the enthusiastic welcome of supporters in front of the club’s headquarters.
Eintracht had already made this departure by not retaining his midfielder for the UEFA Super Cup match played on Wednesday against Real Madrid (0-2).
“We will say goodbye to him with tears in our eyes, (…) because it is never pleasant to lose a player like him. Without him, we are weaker, that’s for sure“, underlined Tuesday the trainer Oliver Glasner.
The discussions, launched several weeks ago, ended on Wednesday according to the Italian media, which evokes compensation of just over 15 million euros paid by Juve to attract this player who was still under contract until 2023.
Kostic, who also wore the colors of Stuttgart and Hamburg in the Bundesliga, was notably one of the architects of the coronation of Frankfurt last season in the Europa League.
The Serbian international (48 selections), renowned in particular for his qualities to overflow on the left and center, will find his compatriot and teammate at Juventus Dusan Vlahovic, arrived in January at the tip of the Bianconeri.
His great ability to deliver assists (64 assists delivered over the last 4 seasons) could do Juventus a lot of good.
