Benfica is reportedly monitoring Juventus left-back Filip Kostic, with manager José Mourinho keen to reunite with a player he previously coached.
Italian market specialist Nicolò Schira reported on Monday that Mourinho holds Kostic in high regard, a sentiment stemming from their time together at Turkish club Fenerbahçe last season.
Kostic, 33, played under Mourinho during a loan spell at Fenerbahçe, where he made 35 appearances. Benfica had also shown interest in the Serbian international last summer.
