Roma is showing genuine interest in securing the services of Juventus full-back Filip Kostic, who has also caught the eye of Crystal Palace.
The 31-year-old Serbian defender made a strong impression in his first season with Juventus, contributing three goals and 11 assists in 54 appearances. However, his performance has dipped this season, with only four direct goal involvements.
Recent reports revealed that Crystal Palace initiated contact with Kostic and his representatives to explore the possibility of a summer transfer. They are eager to reunite Kostic with his former Eintracht Frankfurt coach Olivier Glasner.
Francesco Balzani from Calciomercato.com has outlined Roma’s interest in acquiring Kostic as a replacement for Leonardo Spinazzola. The club sees the 31-year-old as a suitable addition to Daniele De Rossi’s squad. Kostic is reportedly valued at around €10-11 million, with a salary of €2.5 million net per season.
With both Roma and Crystal Palace vying for Kostic’s signature, the summer transfer window could witness intensified competition for his services.
