Eintracht Frankfurt director of football Fredi Bobic has admitted he would be happy if Filip Kostic is to remain with the club amid continued speculation surrounding his future.
The Serbian national team player has drawn links to several clubs in recent weeks and months following another top season for the Eagles with Inter among the clubs to have been linked with making a potential Summer transfer window swoop for him.
In an interview with German magazine Kicker, Bobic has refused to rule out the possibility that the former Stuttgart player could end up leaving the club but admits there is a lot of uncertainty given the ongoing global Coronavirus pandemic, which has caused significant financial damage to football.
“I can’t say that he won’t move because I don’t know how the situation will develop in other countries. Good players will always have a market even in difficult times, and Filip is an exceptional player. Age doesn’t matter so much either. You are good or you are not,” Bobic began the interview.
“We would all be happy if Filip stayed with us. However, nobody can predict what will happen in the transfer market and if the big clubs will have liquidity.
“Will the Champions League be played? How big is the loss of revenue for big clubs? Nobody can know. Therefore it makes no sense to talk about possible exits.”
This season 27-year-old Kostic has made 40 appearances across all competitions to date. In almost 3600 minutes on the field, he has scored 12 goals and has also provided a total of 15 assists for his teammates.
