A proper no.6, none of this getting forward/box-to-box lark. Lots of followers too so a credible source. Not sure how he would fit in with Yarmo, Sangare & Janelt also competing for the deeper midfield roles.
 

Aleksandar Stanković (Mid, Inter, 21)

Were we interested in him previously or have I imagined that?
 

Aleksandar Stanković (Mid, Inter, 21)

He signed a 5 year contract at Inter in June. He was at Bruges and Inter exercised a buy back option.
 

Aleksandar Stanković (Mid, Inter, 21)

No way are inter selling him or for that cheap. Calhanoglus replacement for them and in contract until 2031

Is also starting today in their friendly Vs ac Milan in Perth
 

Aleksandar Stanković (Mid, Inter, 21)

Strange one as it's a very reputable source.
 

Aleksandar Stanković (Mid, Inter, 21)

You'd imagine this was one of the alternative options we were considering if the Sangare deal hadn't come off. Or maybe Sangare was the alternative to this chap. Either way the report is backwards looking - it's picking up on a bid that was made, refused and which we've presumably moved on from.

As others have said, this seems an unlikely/difficult one. Article seems to suggest though that Curtis Jones arrival there could possibly influence things:

"Jones, in fact, would find his way to Milan more easily if Stankovic, for example, were to leave, but if this, as mentioned, is a summer in which Aleks is unlikely to leave the Nerazzurri, it becomes equally difficult to break this impasse."

He’s played in their pre-season friendlies and got a lot of praise from his manager… this must be regurgitated history as we’re not going to buy another defensive midfielder now.

It says we bid this week:

"But on a hot day in early August, Inter found themselves faced with a formal, written request from Brentford."

You can’t trust the Italian postal service…

Definitely happened then as its been hot every day in August so far.

Inter activated a buy back clause from Club Brugge reported as €23M. Seems like a win for them with reported interest at a much higher fee, they wouldn't be the first club to flip a player transfer quickly. Alternatively if transfer interest doesn't result in a transfer they have a player who must have improved in his full season in the Belgium league playing 39 games plus 10 Champions League games to warrant regular game time with Inter.
 

Aleksandar Stanković (Mid, Inter, 21)

Maybe want him as a 6 see sangara more of a 8?.
Says inter will be open to increase offers as he will only be a back up player for them.
 

Aleksandar Stanković (Mid, Inter, 21)

Maybe if Jensen does go we’re in for this chap

If Jensen does go I think we’re covered with what we have, with younger players coming through (assuming fewer injuries). Being a player mentor, though…
 

Aleksandar Stanković (Mid, Inter, 21)

Hasn’t 🍌 said no more incomings?
 

Aleksandar Stanković (Mid, Inter, 21)

Weird one, surely must be old news
 

Aleksandar Stanković (Mid, Inter, 21)

Keeps us all busy speculating but this is a total non-starter - close thread?
 

Aleksandar Stanković (Mid, Inter, 21)

It's a funny old thing to see us being linked with Inter Milan players, whether it's true or not is another question of course!

Even stranger when we're being told Roma can't afford our players.
Sorry I digress

Son of former Inter player Dejan Stanković
 

Aleksandar Stanković (Mid, Inter, 21)

I could have sworn we were looking at him before...and then he signed a new contract or something...
 

Aleksandar Stanković (Mid, Inter, 21)

He signed a 5 year contract at Inter in June. He was at Bruges and Inter exercised a buy back option.
Lots of deals these days where clubs exercise a cheap buy back only to sell them on again. Seems unlikely we'd spend big on another midfielder just yet - though we've been after this guy a few times so the interest is definitely there. Been reported previously he's said no to us before though so I think super unlikely.
 

Aleksandar Stanković (Mid, Inter, 21)

I wonder if Inter need some funds to strengthen their squad or to get some other deals over the line 🤷

We might just be trying to take advantage of an opportunity that has presented itself 👍

But then again it may all be nonsense 🤣
 

Aleksandar Stanković (Mid, Inter, 21)

If he signs it will be interesting coming up with a song name for him....
 

Aleksandar Stanković (Mid, Inter, 21)

If he did say NO to us then fair enough he don't want in , so we move quickly on to someone of quality that buys into our way.
 

Aleksandar Stanković (Mid, Inter, 21)

Can’t see this personally and I think we are well stock in midfield now. We have at least 2 players per midfield slot now adding an extra seem rather pointless. Only reason I can see us bidding for him now is that’s it’s our only chance to sign him and we’ve been tracking him for assuming a number of years
 

Aleksandar Stanković (Mid, Inter, 21)

Bruges must be one of the top talent developers around (except us of course). Stankovic, Jashari, Tzolis, De Cuyper, Talbi, Nusa, Skov Olsen not to mention Thiago and Furo have all come through there and been sold in the last 3 years
 

Aleksandar Stanković (Mid, Inter, 21)

Player and club saying no
I don't know if we were/are actually in for this player, but we have a history of pursuing our targets over several windows. I therefore conclude that PG is rarely put off by a refusal to deal.
 

Aleksandar Stanković (Mid, Inter, 21)

Maybe he was our first choice before Sangare or just another option
