Elfrink confirms Serbian Filip Kostic on PSV‑transferradar

In the bustling newsroom of the Eindhovens Dagblad, Rik Elfrink leaned over his desk, eyes fixed on a scouting report. He announced today that Serbian forward Filip Kostic has entered PSV’s transfer radar, confirming the name is circulating around the Dutch champions.

Elfrink made the comment while discussing possible reinforcements for PSV. He stressed that the observation stems from recent scouting work rather than any formal negotiation.

Representing the Eindhovens Dagblad, Elfrink explicitly confirmed that Kostic is being considered by PSV. The clubwatcher highlighted that the assessment is based on fresh scouting reports, not on concrete talks.

Transfer journalist Mounir Boualin had earlier suggested the Serbian as an option for the league champions. Boualin named Kostic earlier this week, adding the player to PSV’s shortlist.

Speaking on the PSV podcast Heet van de Herdgang, Elfrink said: “I find it a very interesting name. It also sounds good, but at the moment it is not very concrete. So it is not that Kostic is about to move.” The quote underlines the tentative nature of the interest.

Elfrink added: “I first thought: is he a left winger? But I now understand he can cover the whole left side.” He noted that Kostic has missed only eleven or twelve matches in fourteen seasons, emphasizing his durability.

He praised Kostic as “an extremely fit guy” and compared his style to Ivan Perišić. The 33‑year‑old Serbian, Elfrink observed, is still relatively young for a player with such experience.

Despite the optimism, Elfrink clarified that no concrete negotiations are underway. The situation remains in the scouting phase, with no formal offers on the table.

The Dutch club’s interest in the Serbian forward continues to be monitored, but as of today, PSV has not moved beyond preliminary observation.
