Aleksandar Stankovic, the recently crowned best young player in the Belgian Jupiler Pro League, has indicated a potential return to Inter Milan, though he stressed any discussions are on hold until after his international commitments. The 20-year-old made the comments while receiving his end-of-season award, as reported by nieuwsblad.be.
Stankovic currently plays for Club Brugge, where he has become a key figure, contributing to their league title win and earning individual accolades. He joined Brugge from Inter’s youth setup, and has developed into a promising talent in Belgium, playing primarily as a midfielder. His performances have reportedly attracted the attention of his former club.
The son of former Inter and Lazio midfielder Dejan Stankovic, Aleksandar spoke of the values instilled in him by his father. He recounted Dejan’s mantra – “There’s no glory without sweat” – which is also emblazoned on the Club Brugge shirts, emphasizing the importance of hard work and dedication. The younger Stankovic credited his teammates and the club for their support in achieving success.
When questioned directly about a potential move back to Italy, Stankovic remained cautious. He stated that he will join the national team shortly, followed by a period of vacation, and that discussions regarding his future will take place at a later date. This suggests an openness to the possibility of returning to Inter, but also a desire to focus on his current commitments.
Inter Milan may see Stankovic as a valuable addition to their squad, potentially offering depth and competition in midfield. The club has a history of nurturing young talent, and bringing back a player with a familial connection to the club could be seen as a positive move. The transfer would likely be a permanent deal, although financial details have not yet been disclosed. A return to Serie A would represent a significant step in Stankovic’s career, allowing him to test his abilities in one of Europe’s top leagues.
