Inter Milan could send midfielder Aleksandar Stankovic to the Belgian Pro League next season, with Club Brugge and Anderlecht keen.
This according to Italian outlet FCInterNews. They note that Luzern will sign Stankovic permanently, but that Inter will swiftly exercise their buyback clause on the Serb.
Inter Milan midfielder Aleksandar Stankovic has spent this season on loan with Swiss club Luzern.
The 19-year-old has enjoyed an outstanding campaign. So much so that he has even been tipped to win the midfielder of the year award for the Swiss Super League.
Luzern have a purchase option on Stankovic. They can sign the Serb on a permanent basis for a fee of €1.5 million.
However, Inter in turn have a buyback clause, and can bring Stankovic back immediately.
Club Brugge & Anderlecht Keen On Inter Milan Midfielder Aleksandar Stankovic
According to FCIN, Inter’s plan for next season will be similar to this one with Aleksandar Stankovic.
This campaign has represented a successful step up into senior football for the teenager. Therefore, the Nerazzurri will aim to see him develop further.
FCIN report that Stankovic’s aim is to eventually play for the Inter first team.
The Serb’s father Dejan was a legendary former Inter player himself, spending a decade at the club and winning the European Treble.
However, Aleksandar Stankovic is not yet ready to be a part of the first team project at Inter.
Therefore, the Nerazzurri will look for a different club for him for next season. They could once again sell him outright, but with a buyback option.
According to FCIN, there is interest in Stankovic’s signature from the Belgian top flight.
The likes of Club Brugge and Anderlecht are keen on the 19-year-old.
Of course he’s not ready… Talent and merit are often not useful in serie a these days…

What talent and what merit? Other than being Stankovic’s son, the kid has done nothing to deserve playing time. You’ve been talking about giving more playing time to young players. Well, Fratessi, Asllani and Bisseck have been given plenty of time on the pitch and they have been regressing compared to last season. If you’re good, you’ll play. Age doesn’t matter. Get that through your head. You seem to believe that a 19 year old is automatically better than a 30+ year old veteran simply because of his age. Or that any academy player that is given a chance will automatically become world class. We have plenty of examples on our own team that proves you wrong.
In the past, you’ve said that you prefer Vanheusden or Pirola instead of Acerbi. Pinamonti, Carboni or Esposito instead of the likes of Dzeko or Arnautovic. You even said you prefer Correa over Dzeko and Arnautovic because he’s younger. Where are this “talented” kids now? Carboni played over thirty games at Monza (so much for Serie A not giving young players a chance) and scored TWO goals….Casadei (another of your favorites) has disappeared for over two years now. You’ve been wrong about this players all this time buddy.
Agreed, people want youngsters to play, but when they make errors then Inzaghi gets blamed. One can’t compete for multiple trophies and give space to unproven youngsters at the same time. They need to prove themselves on loan.
