Sold last summer to Bruges while maintaining the possibility of counter-buying him between next and following summers, the Nerazzurri management is interested. And yesterday’s goal confirms the great growth

December 27 – 11.40am – MILAN

The boom in Lucerne, the consecration in Bruges, the future… in Milan? Who knows if the decisive factor for Aleksandar Stankovic’s exponential growth will be the air of Northern Europe, what is certain is that the double Erasmus is certainly useful to the son of art. Last year, in Switzerland, Aleks played 40 games (with 4 goals and 2 assists) in his first real season among professionals. Today, the numbers have potentially already improved. Because Bruges was the best choice possible, the appearances in all competitions are already 30 and the number of goals and assists is almost equal (at 5). The last center? Precisely yesterday, and also decisive, in the crazy trip to Genk decided by Deki jr’s right-footed shot into the top corner which gave Bruges a 4-3 lead (it then ended 5-3). Inter, for their part, is observing the performance of the Serbian midfielder with enormous attention. Because he could soon decide to bring him back to Italy.

Nerazzurri

Aleksandar Stankovic was born in Milan as soon as his father Dejan moved from Lazio to Inter, he is a Nerazzurri fan, a friend of Dimarco and a big fan of Hakan Calhanoglu. Curious to think that one day he could be the one to occupy the Turk’s place. Because Calha’s future will once again be written, exactly like Aleks’. Last summer, Inter sold Stankovic to Bruges for around ten million. But… there are two “buts”. Because the Nerazzurri management, before formalizing the transfer, imposed a double condition: he had to have the counter-ransom, the possibility of bringing him back to Milan. And so he included in the contract the right to buy back both for next summer and for the following one. 23 million for 2026 and 25 for 2027. A sort of notable “premium-development” for the Belgian company, which in the worst case scenario will “be satisfied” with a capital gain of 13 million. But the question is not only this.

Stankovic’s super season in Belgium has turned several lights on the midfielder. Inter, formally, have not yet decided whether to exercise the counter-ransom, even if it seems difficult to imagine that they would let it slip away. Meanwhile, several big names from across Europe have started asking for information. Especially English and German. Surveys came from London from Arsenal and Tottenham, then from Newcastle. And both Borussia Dortmund and Bayer Leverkusen have been informed from Germany. Inter could also decide to bring Stankovic back to Milan and then sell him for higher prices than those agreed with Bruges. But everything remains in flux, except Aleks’ dream. Which is always the same: playing and winning with Inter, like dad Dejan.
