Portuguese club Benfica continues to monitor the situation of Serbian winger Filip Kostić from Juventus, preparing to attempt to sign him in the near future, as the coaching staff is convinced of his abilities and his potential to provide valuable attacking options for the team.

Kostić is admired by Benfica's current coach, José Mourinho, who has known the player well since their time together at Fenerbahçe. Mourinho valued the Serbian winger's role, tactical abilities, and discipline on the field.

Benfica had shown interest in signing Kostić last summer, but the negotiations did not progress at that time due to Juventus's insistence on keeping the player and the inability to reach an agreement on the financial details of the deal.

Filip Kostić's contract with Juventus runs until June 2026, giving the Italian club a negotiating advantage. However, Benfica's interest and Mourinho's renewed attention could prompt the Portuguese side to make a move again in the upcoming winter or next summer.
