Kostic, a key player in Eintracht’s Europa League triumph last season, was absent from Oliver Glasner’s squad as they lost 2-0 to Real Madrid in the Super Cup on Wednesday (August 10).
Glasner declared the Serbia international would leave the Bundesliga club “as a hero” ahead of that match, before Kostic posted a heartfelt message to Eintracht’s fans on Instagram.
After Kostic underwent a medical with Juventus on Thursday, he has been revealed as their latest addition of a busy transfer window, following the acquisitions of Paul Pogba, Angel Di Maria and Gleison Bremer.

A statement on Juventus’ website read: “A player possessed of talent, strength and speed, able to cover the entire flank. The naturally left-footed wide player has shown over the years that he can play in every area of the pitch, but prefers to throw himself in attack, dishing [out] assists when required.
“The above presentation is basically the football identity card of Filip Kostic, the 29-year-old Serb who is now a Juventus player, having signed a contract that ties him to the club until June 2026.”
Kostic, who joined Eintracht in 2018, scored seven goals and added 13 assists from his role as a flying left wing-back last season (in all competitions), also creating 112 chances for the side – almost double the highest tally managed by any of his team-mates (Jesper Lindstom created 57).
The 29-year-old will hope to be involved when Juventus host Sassuolo in their opening match of the new Serie A campaign on Monday.
