According to the latest news from the Turin Sport newspaper, Inter are eager to strengthen the squad in the winter window in order to successfully defend the Serie A title this season, and Inzaghi Jr. prefers to bring in Frankfurt's midfielder Costic, but Inter needs to pay a transfer fee of around 10 million euros.
Inzaghi Jr. is also a coach who specializes in the tactics of three centre-backs, so the two wing-backs are crucial to his tactical performance, Inzaghi Jr. wants to strengthen the team's left-wing backs, he preferred the winter window to bring in Frankfurt midfielder Kostic, and intends to transform the Serbian midfielder into a left-winger suitable for the three-centre-back tactics, and give full play to the technical characteristics of Kostic's strong assist ability.
The 29-year-old Kostic, a Serbian international, was the main player in the 2022 World Cup in Qatar after beating Portugal to the top spot in the group in the World Preliminary Round. Costic has played 22 games for Eintracht Frankfurt so far this season, scoring three goals and delivering a staggering 10 assists. Kostic's contract with Frankfurt until the summer of 2023, the player has no intention of renewing his contract, eager to go to a bigger stage to prove himself, and the current latest value of Kostic in Germany is 20 million euros.
