Juventus was looking for a team for Filip Kostic, who was not in their plans, while Galatasaray had been trying to add the Serbian star to their squad for some time. Kostic's manager suggested Fenerbahçe to the player, and after discussions with Jose Mourinho, Kostic chose Fenerbahçe.

Galatasaray was in the final stages of negotiating the transfer of Filip Kostic from Juventus. Kostic was considered surplus to requirements at Juventus, where he played 33 matches last season, contributing 4 assists.

Filip Kostic has yet to decide on his future, with Juventus looking to sell him before the Turkish transfer window closes in five days. Galatasaray has shown interest in Kostic and plans to use him as a wing-back in a 3-5-2 formation. Juventus has left Kostic out of their Champions League squad, signaling their desire to sell him. Although Juventus values Kostic at double the amount, Galatasaray is willing to take him on loan with an obligation to buy for a total of 4 million euros.

Galatasaray is nearing the completion of a deal to sign Filip Kostic from Juventus. The club has reportedly been making significant efforts to persuade the 31-year-old player, who is anticipated to arrive in Istanbul shortly. Kostic, a former target for Beşiktaş, has decided to join Galatasaray. Juventus, having excluded Kostic from their future plans, is looking to offload the player. Last season, Kostic played in 33 matches and provided 4 assists.
