Juventus have officially sent Filip Kostic on loan to Turkish team Fenerbahce for the 2024-25 season.
There does not appear to be an option to make the move permanent included in this deal.
The left-sided winger turns 32 in November and was not part of new coach Thiago Motta’s plans after Max Allegri was sacked.
He was purchased from Eintracht Frankfurt in the summer of 2022 for €14.7m and made 87 competitive appearances for the Turin club.
During that time, Kostic scored three goals and provided 15 assists for his teammates.
His contract with Juventus runs to June 2027 and this loan move means that the Bianconeri will save over €3m this year for his salary, which will be covered by Fenerbahce.
He arrived last night in Istanbul to undergo a medical.
There is now only one Juventus player still left at the club who is not part of their plans, namely midfielder Arthur Melo, who returned from a loan spell at Fiorentina.
