Inter Milan are seriously evaluating the possibility of bringing Aleksandar Stankovic back to San Siro after his impressive development at Club Brugge, according to Tuttosport.
The Serbian midfielder, sold to the Belgian club last summer for €9.5 million, has quickly established himself as a regular and recently made his debut for the Serbia national team.
His progress has not gone unnoticed in Milan, where the Nerazzurri retain a double buy-back clause, €23 million in 2026 and €25 million in 2027.
The reports suggest, via FCInterNews, Inter could now be tempted to exercise that option, especially as Cristian Chivu knows the player well from their time together in the Primavera between 2022 and 2024.
Inter Plan For Return Of Club Brugge Star Stankovic
Stankovic could become a natural understudy to Hakan Calhanoglu, offering depth and continuity in the regista role.
His rising profile has also caught the attention of Tottenham and Newcastle, meaning Inter’s option could soon look like a bargain.
However, the club’s current plan is to reintegrate Stankovic into the first-team project, valuing his tactical intelligence and familiarity with Chivu’s system.
Alternatively, Inter may choose to leave him in Belgium for another season to strengthen their relationship with Brugge.
Indeed, a move that could help secure defender Ordonez, one of their targets for 2026.
He needs to play. So its good he is there. He’ll get better and chivu will decide when its time to bring him back. We all hope its after one rather than two seasons, but we dont know whats best. Chivu developed kids. Let him cook
We don’t have enough quality midfielders in the team and problem is English clubs are already inquiring about his price. What if someone offers him more than 5 mil per season, can you be 100% sure that he’ll come back to Italy?
in the photo above he looks pretty weak, physically, don’t know if this is one of the most recent photos of him, though.
Inter management is so brillant: they thought it would be a great idea to sell Stanko and bring Diouf for 25M.
Brillant, Ausilio!
The best idea was to sell Fratesi and keep Stanko, or because we missed Lookman, put Fratesi as a striker or false 9 and keep Stanko. We should never sell Stanko.
