The Eagles boss is keen to add Kostic to his roster for 2026.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Filip Kostic Transfer News<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Despite featuring more prominently under Luciano Spalletti \u2013 Filip Kostic\u2019s long-term future in Turin is up for debate. Especially as the left winger has just six months to run on his current deal.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Similar to<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2013 whose contract also expires in the summer \u2013 it\u2019s undecided whether the Serb will quit the Allianz Stadium.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kostic joined the Bianconeri from Eintracht Frankfurt in 2022. The veteran midfielder has featured 99 times for the club and scored five goals across all competitions.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Who Could Juventus Sign To Replace Filip Kostic?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to Calciomercato, Bayern Munich\u2019s Raphael Guerreiro could fill the potential Filip Kostic void. The Portuguese left-back \u2013 who can also play on the wing \u2013 is also out of contract in the summer.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Juventus have tracked Guerreiro<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> since October and are weighing up a January bid. Naturally, the Serie A giants would get the Bayern player for a discounted price.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Guerreiro has found his game time limited this year and a new venture is very likely. Especially if Kostic does move on. Although the former has been a bit-part player in 2025-26, he has still chipped in with three goals and three assists.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>What Other Players Could Be Transferring To Turin In January?\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If Filip Kostic does link up again with 2010 treble winner Jose Mourinho, it\u2019s likely that a deal for Raphael Guerreiro will be struck. However, who else could Juventus sign this winter?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hellas Verona forward Giovane<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is a modest option at \u20ac15-18million.
