Filip Kostić Watch

So I usually would never waste a thought let alone word on players from VfB Stuttgart. Terrible club, thankfully they got relegated, they had it coming.

Since they're relegated though, their one genuinely interesting player will surely move clubs in summer- Filip Kostic, Serbian 23 year old.

Quirky, fast young left winger who is relentless in running at defenders. I like him, and I wouldn't be surprised if he one day played for one of the bigger European clubs.

HSV want him and reportedly were close to signing him, now apparently Valencia and Inter are in the mix too.

Let's see where this ends.

Joined Hamburger SV a few days ago. Contract until 30.6.2021

Fee reportedly 14m € (kicker), making Kostic HSV's record transfer.

Is he a model or a football player.

Is really one of the main creative forces in this Eintracht whirlwind attack, and now finally rewards himself with an important goal vs Benfica

clear offside though lol

Why does he look like a malnourished XHAKA?

Congratulations, you just started another Balkan war.

Currently destroying Chelsea's right side all on his own. This guy just doesn't quit.

Surely one of the more underrated players of recent years..

Who? wohin? wie gehts?

would have been a better signing than Ferran Torres for sure

Sure. He's nearly a decade older than Ferran

Why didn't you bump Musiala thread after Bayern got KNÖCKED ÖUT?

Because players should be judged across seasons and not after individual games. Now please cease this nonsensical crusade and if you really want to compare, age-adjust please. Where was Kostić at 22 is the question. GRÖNINGEN?

Linked to him now, 3rd Serbian in our radar this year

Almost 30 years old and never played for a top club so i scouted him a bit and my verdict is: he is NOT a new Krasic

His assist numbers are interesting and he would bring speed on the flanks, those 2 aspects of the game where we are bottom tier. Of course i would prefer Di Maria but this seems a legit plan B

Jjuve deal done dealio.


Verdict on him as it stands?

Confirmed: Kostic signs for Juventus from Frankfurt for a fee of 12m € plus 3m in possible addons. Contract until 2026
