Two Premier League Clubs Bid €40m for Inter's Stankovic

Aleksandar Stankovic, son of former Inter midfielder Dejan Stankovic, came through Inter’s academy before moving to Club Brugge. He has become a regular starter in Belgium’s top flight, playing as a central midfielder who contributes both defensively and offensively. Over the past season he started in the majority of Brugge’s league matches and featured in cup competitions, helping the side secure a top‑four finish. His contract with Brugge runs until 2026, giving Inter a window to act on their re‑sign option.

- Two unnamed Premier League clubs have each offered €40 million for Stankovic’s transfer this summer, according to Libero newspaper. - Inter Milan holds a contractual option to buy him back for €23 million this summer, with a pre‑agreed fee of €25 million for a 2027 move, per Calciomercato.com. - In the 2023‑24 season, Stankovic made 52 appearances for Brugge, scoring nine goals and providing five assists across all competitions.

The dual €40 million offers exceed Inter’s internal re‑sign price by a wide margin, suggesting the player’s market value has risen sharply since his departure. Inter must weigh the financial benefit of selling now against retaining a home‑grown talent who could develop further under their coaching staff. The club’s reported summer budget of €40‑50 million could be stretched if they choose to match the Premier League bids, or they could opt to cash in and reinvest elsewhere. A sale at the offered price would generate significant transfer revenue, potentially funding multiple squad additions, while keeping Stankovic would preserve a player with strong ties to the club’s youth system.
