PSV's free‑agent chase: 72‑cap left‑side veteran Filip Kostic

PSV remain keen on signing free‑agent left‑back Filip Kostic, the 33‑year‑old Servië player who has earned 72 caps for his country, according to the Eindhovens Dagblad today. The Eindhoven club must first secure an agreement with the player’s representative before a medical can be arranged.

The report notes that PSV hope to add Kostic to their squad, but De Eindhovenaren must first close a deal with his agent, the club’s Italian representative. Negotiations are essential before the player can undergo a medical examination.

Kostic, a 33‑year‑old Serviër, previously featured for major clubs including Eintracht Frankfurt, Fenerbahçe and Juventus. His experience across top European leagues adds depth to the left side of any team.

Having become transfervrij, Kostic is available without a transfer fee, yet several clubs have also shown interest in the 72‑cap Servië international. This competition could complicate PSV’s pursuit.

The player’s Italian agent is currently handling the negotiations, and PSV must reach an agreement with him before the medical clearance can proceed. The outcome of these talks remains uncertain.

PSV hope the situation mirrors the club’s earlier acquisition of Ivan Perisic, which also involved a free‑agent signing after agent negotiations. Replicating that model would streamline Kostic’s integration.

A further advantage is Kostic’s versatility; he can operate in every position along the left flank, offering tactical flexibility to the Dutch side. Such adaptability could prove valuable in both defensive and attacking roles.
