The Dutch champions PSV Eindhoven have added another Balkan reinforcement. On Wednesday, August 6, 2026, it was officially announced that Serbian international, 33-year-old winger Filip Kostić, has left Juventus and continued his career with the Eindhoven-based club.
The experienced player put pen to paper on a two-year deal, ending weeks of speculation about his next destination following his departure from Turin.
The news of the agreement was first shared with the public by football insider Fabrizio Romano, relying on information from Dutch journalist Rik Elfrink. Shortly after, PSV officially confirmed the transfer.
Kostić is expected to bring additional strength to the left side of the team with his rich international experience ahead of the new season.
This is not Kostić's first time playing in the Netherlands. It was in Groningen that he began his journey abroad, followed by a move to the German Bundesliga. There, he wore the jerseys of Stuttgart, Hamburg, and Eintracht Frankfurt before joining Juventus in 2022.
In four seasons in Turin, he won the Italian Cup, and now his task will be to help PSV defend their league title and achieve the best possible results in European competitions.
For fans in Bosnia and Herzegovina, as well as the wider region, it will be particularly interesting that Kostić will become a teammate of Bosnia and Herzegovina international Esmir Bajraktarević at PSV. There is a real possibility that the two internationals will cover the wing positions together in the Dutch champions' lineup in the upcoming season.
