By Peter Weis @PeterVicey
Germany's main sporting tabloid reports that Eintracht Frankfurt have tendered Filip Kostic a generous contract extension offer aimed at soliciting a decision from the Serbian superstar soon.

Perhaps keen to avoid the unwelcome distraction of late last summer, the SGE personnel chief wishes to get Kostic's decision out of the way as soon as possible. German tabloid Sport Bild claims that Krösche and the administrative team have offered the 29-year-old an annual pay increase from €2.5 million to €4 million on a contract running through 2026.
Whether or not Kostic accepts what Sport Bild labels a "retirement contract" remains to be seen. It does not appear as if the SGE will be in much of a patient mood with respect to the player's choice.
