Eintracht Frankfurt is increasingly confident that they will keep Filip Kostic, despite interest from Juventus.
The winger was in stunning form in the Europa League last season and he helped the Germans to win the competition.
Juventus were linked with a move for him immediately after the final of the competition.
It seemed almost certain that he will join them, but the Bianconeri turned their attention towards adding Angel di Maria to their squad.
The Argentinian has completed the transfer, and the route that leads to Kostic seems to have cooled off in recent weeks.
Peter Fischer, the German club's president has now urged the winger to stay with them because he will be on the bench at Juve.
He said, as quoted by Calciomercato: "I don't know what he wants to achieve at Juve when Di Maria is already there. play on his side.
"He would watch from the stands. I have the hope and the firm feeling that Filip will stay with us. He can go to any pub in Frankfurt without having to pay. He is very popular here."

The most horrific leader I've ever seen. He has just clearly stated that his player is worse and that's why he shouldn't transfer out. In my opinion, it gives him courage and a reson, something like proving to his ex-president of the club that he is worthy. Dude is just convincing him equivocally to accept Juve change.
