A few months ago, he was on the brink of a move to another Serie A side Lazio. The move failed to materialise due to a bizarre and rather genius move from the German club. They gave Lazio the wrong e-mail address and thus stalled the deal just enough for the transfer window to pass.Sunday, 20.00: (2.25) Inter (3.50) Napoli (3.35)The Serbia international, who played his part in the Eagles’ amazing away win over Ronaldo’s Portugal last weekend, won’t be held by Frankfurt much longer, however. He could become an Inter player as early as January – provided that the blue and blacks decide to offload Perisic six months before his contract is up. It would ensure them some income from the transfer and they would also save around $5 million in wages.Filip Kostic’s market value is currently estimated at around $20 million after his three fine seasons at Eintracht’s Waldstadion. Italian newspaper La Gazzetta Dello Sport claims that Inter are hoping to secure Kostic’s signature for no more than $10 million. They are counting on the player’s new agent Alessandro Lucci to convince Eintracht to sell before he enters the last year of his contract and becomes even more unsettled. The same agent has been the middleman in four arrivals to Inter recently. Aleksandar Kolarov, Edin Dzeko, Matias Vecino and Joaquin Correa are all his clients. Kostic could be the fifth to put on the “snakeskin” shirt of Inter.Sunday, 17.30: (2.25) Freiburg (3.50) Eintr.Frankfurt (3.35)Another potential target for Inter could be Atalanta’s German winger Robin Goosens, who is yet to extend his contract with the Bergamo club.
