It has been claimed that Jose Mourinho, the head coach of Portugal's Benfica team, has added Filip Kostic, whom he managed during his time at Fenerbahçe, to his transfer list. The 33-year-old Kostic, whose contract with Juventus will expire at the end of the season, has scored 2 goals and provided 1 assist in 10 matches this season.
After leaving Fenerbahçe in August 2025 and returning to his country, Jose Mourinho took over as the head coach of Benfica and began squad planning for the winter transfer period. It has been reported that the famous coach wants to see Filip Kostic, one of his indispensable players during his time at the yellow-navy team, back in his squad.
BENFICA WAS INTERESTED LAST SUMMER AS WELL
According to Italian journalist Nicolo Schira, Mourinho has added Filip Kostic to Benfica's transfer list. The report reminded that the Portuguese team was also interested in the 33-year-old experienced player last summer, but the transfer did not materialize.
KOSTIC'S CONTRACT EXPIRES AT THE END OF THE SEASON
According to Transfermarkt data, Kostic, whose market value is 3.5 million Euros, will see his contract with Juventus expire at the end of the season. This situation increases Benfica's chances of completing the transfer under favorable conditions.
2 GOALS AND 1 ASSIST IN 10 MATCHES THIS SEASON
The Serbian star has played 10 matches for Juventus this season, contributing with 2 goals and 1 assist. Kostic's performance shows that the experienced player can still provide top-level contributions.
FENERBAHÇE PERIOD: 11 GOAL CONTRIBUTIONS IN 35 MATCHES
Filip Kostic, who spent last season on loan at Fenerbahçe, made a significant impact with 2 goals and 9 assists in 35 matches while wearing the yellow-navy jersey. It was not surprising that Mourinho expressed interest in the Serbian player, whom he sees as his "former student," once again.
