José Mourinho’s desire to retain Filip Kostic at Fenerbahce could lead to a profitable deal for Juventus. The Serbian winger, currently on loan at the Turkish club until June 30, 2025, has impressed since his arrival, prompting discussions about a potential permanent transfer
Kostic joined Fenerbahce on a loan deal from Juventus, with the Turkish club covering his entire salary of €2.5 million net per season (€3.3 million gross). This arrangement has already provided Juventus with significant financial relief.
Juventus are reportedly setting a price tag of €5-6 million for Kostic’s permanent transfer. This figure takes into account several factors:
-
Kostic’s contract with Juventus runs until 2026
-
His current market value is estimated at around €6 million
-
The player’s age (32) and remaining contract length
If the transfer materializes, Juventus stands to gain in multiple ways:
-
Transfer fee: The proposed €5-6 million would provide immediate income
-
Salary Savings: Juventus would permanently remove Kostic’s wages from their books
-
Financial Fair Play: The sale would positively impact the club’s financial balance sheet
Several elements could affect the final outcome of this potential transfer:
-
Kostic’s performance for the remainder of his loan spell
-
Fenerbahce’s willingness to meet Juventus’ asking price
-
Potential interest from other clubs
-
Juventus’ transfer strategy under coach Thiago Motta, who had previously deemed Kostic surplus to requirements
