Inter Milan could kick off their summer rebuild by bringing both Stankovic brothers back to the club, with Aleksandar’s return from Club Brugge all but confirmed and Filip potentially following as backup goalkeeper behind expected new number one Guglielmo Vicario.

According to Gazzetta dello Sport, via FCInterNews, Aleksandar’s return is effectively a foregone conclusion.

Inter hold a buy-back clause worth €23 million from his loan to Bruges and will exercise it.

Therefore ending speculation over a second season in Belgium.

Filip’s situation is more nuanced.

Stankovic enjoyed an excellent spell with Venezia and Inter retain a 50% sell-on clause from his original departure.

Indeed, meaning they could repurchase him at half the market price.

That financial advantage makes the operation an attractive one, particularly if the club are looking for an experienced and familiar backup to Vicario at a reduced cost.

Sommer Extension Remains An Alternative To Filip Stankovic Return At Inter Milan

The one variable is Yann Sommer.

The possibility of the Swiss veteran staying on as a senior backup and dressing room presence has not been entirely ruled out.

Indeed, making Filip’s return contingent on how those conversations develop in the coming weeks.

Either way, Inter’s summer revolution is already taking shape.

And, moreover, it could begin with two brothers returning home.
