Juventus, a favor from Jose Mourinho: Filip Kostic to Fenerbahce

A genuine favor, by the work of the all-time rival.

Juventus soccer market: Filip Kostic è close to taking off the Bianconeri jersey, despite the fact that transfer windows are now closed in Serie A. Only inbound, però: in Turkey one can still operate until September 13, and it is precisely in SuperLig that the career of the Serbian, out of Thiago Motta’s plans, could continue. To be precise at Fenerbahce, coached by an "old enemy" Juventus’ like José Mourinho.

The very advanced state of the operation è confirmed by Fenerbahce itself, which announced on Twitter on Sunday that Kostic è is already expected in Istanbul to undergo medical examinations and then sign his new contract. All this, of course, after having found with Juventus the total agreement for his transfer.

Kostic will tie up with Fenerbahce on loan, with a right of redemption expected to be around 5-6 million euros. A crucial aspect concerns the player's recruitment, which will be fully covered by the Turkish club. A detail that is not insignificant, since it is one of the targets that Juventus was setting in an attempt to sell the Serbian.

Having arrived at Juventus at the beginning of the 2022-2023 season, there were already fears of his possible sale last January, which later failed to materialize (in that case to Saudi Arabia). Aware that his space in Juventus was shrinking, Kostic è has been followed in recent weeks by Werder Bremen and Crystal Palace. None of these transactions had però gone through to the end, unlike what is about to happen in the case of Fenerbahce.
