Aleksandar Stanković Set to Join Club Brugge as Inter Agree Transfer Terms
Inter Milan and Club Brugge have reached an agreement for 19-year-old midfielder Aleksandar Stanković’s transfer. Only a few details remain before the move is official.
WHAT HAPPENED?
Inter Milan and Club Brugge finalized the deal for Stanković after long talks. They agreed on a buy-back option of €22 million in 2026, increasing to €25 million by 2027. Club Brugge will pay €10 million for the player. Stanković has already agreed to Brugge’s contract and the transfer will be completed soon.
The club sees Stanković as a suitable replacement for Ardon Jashari, who might leave. According to reports, Club Brugge has set a fixed asking price of €40 million for Jashari, which may impact future negotiations. Now, just paperwork and final touches are needed to complete the deal.
WHY THIS MOVE MATTERS
Stanković, soon to be 20, is one of Inter’s top academy prospects. He gained experience on loan at FC Luzern in Switzerland.
Brugge’s interest in him shows their goal to stay strong, especially with Jashari likely leaving. Inter’s buy-back clause means they can bring Stanković back, as he is considered a talented player.
Club Brugge finished second in the Belgian Pro League last season, just four points behind the winners, Union Saint-Gilloise. They aim for a strong season in Belgium and Europe next year, demonstrating their ambition to win the championship and improve their squad for local and European games.
WHAT’S NEXT FOR CLUB BRUGGE AND STANKOVIĆ?
Club Brugge is preparing for the new Belgian Pro League season, starting against Sint-Truiden next weekend. They finished second last season, four points behind the leaders and eight points ahead of third place. This upcoming match will be crucial as they seek to position themselves strongly for the season ahead.
Inter will keep an eye on Stanković’s progress in Belgium, as their buy-back clause gives them an option if he impresses. Stanković has the chance to start playing for Brugge’s midfield and prove himself at a higher level, possibly returning to Serie A in the future.
