Frankfurt will weaken a lot before the Super Cup against Real Madrid. Major star leaves for Juventus

On Wednesday night, Frankfurt will have a chance to add another trophy to its collection. They will challenge Champions League winner Real Madrid in the European Super Cup as the winner of the Europa League. But they will have to do without their star player, Filip Kostic.

Frankfurt kind of shocked everyone last season. They struggled in the Bundesliga, finishing 11th, but that needn’t worry them at all, they will play in the cups again this season. And the best competition at that.

The reason for this is the Europa League, where Eintracht successively knocked out Betis, Barcelona, West Ham and in the final defeated Rangers. The left winger or halfback, Filip Kostic, has been a big part of that. He scored 3 goals and added 6 assists in 12 games. In the Bundesliga, he had a 4+9 record.

A season earlier he had 15 assists, before that 11 and 10. He has become Frankfurt’s driving force and most dangerous player in recent years. But he won’t be playing in the Champions League at Deutsche Bank Park.

He is being bought out of Frankfurt by Juventus, who will pay around 16 million euros + bonuses for him. Kostic should arrive in Turin soon, where he will undergo a medical. The information was reported by renowned journalist Fabrizio Romano.

Thus, Kostic will not help his team in Wednesday’s match against Real Madrid, he did not even travel to Helsinki. At the weekend, he was still there for the 1:6 drubbing of Bayern Munich, when the visitors scored five goals in the first half.
