Fenerbahçe Set to Sign Serbian Star Filip Kostic on Loan
Fenerbahçe is preparing to strengthen its squad with a surprise addition, as the club finalizes a deal to bring in Serbian star Filip Kostic on a one-year loan from Juventus. Kostic, who can play as both a left-back and left wing-back, is known for his exceptional left foot, making him a potent weapon in set-pieces and open play. His playmaking abilities also make him a valuable asset in offensive situations.
The 31-year-old’s versatility allows him to be deployed in various positions, and under Jose Mourinho, he may feature in different roles depending on the tactical setup, particularly in attack-focused matches.
Fenerbahçe’s pursuit of a left-back began after agreeing to sign Cristian Medina from Boca Juniors in January. With several candidates on their list, the club made a surprise move by securing Kostic, who, despite not being a traditional left-back, has built his career as a left wing-back in various tactical setups. Kostic has even played as a right winger on occasion, showcasing his flexibility on the field.
