Eintracht Frankfurt will not renew Filip Kostic’s contract, setting up a transfer market derby between Roma and Lazio for his signature in the summer.
The Biancocelesti were incredibly to sign the 29-year-old Serbian winger in last summer’s transfer window but they failed to iron out a deal with the Bundesliga side, who didn’t want to lose the player. It was a frustrating situation for the Roman club, wasting a significant amount of time.

As reported by Calciomerato.com yesterday, Roma have set their sights on Kostic and they’re planning to make a move for him in the summer, competing with Lazio for his signature.

The Serbian winger can likely be signed for a low price considering that his contract with Eintracht Frankfurt expires in 2023, ending a three-year spell with die Adler.
Kostic has made 22 Bundesliga appearances so far this season, for a total of 1837 minutes. In that time, he’s scored three goals and provided eight assists.
