Inter Milan hold the rights to bring Aleksandar Stankovic back from Club Brugge this summer, but Atletico Madrid, Borussia Dortmund and several Premier League clubs are willing to spend significantly more than the €22 million buyback fee to convince the Nerazzurri to sell him on.
According to Corriere dello Sport, Inter paid €9.5 million when they sold Stankovic last summer and will spend €22 million to trigger the repurchase clause.
Indeed, a significant uplift that reflects his outstanding development in Belgium.
Nine goals this season, two in the Champions League, with double figures within touching distance underline his rapid progress.
Indeed, his performances at Brugge have attracted serious attention from elite European clubs.
Furthermore, Stankovic has previously impressed in Switzerland, giving him a consistent track record of stepping up in competitive environments.

Therefore, Inter face a decision. Exercise the buyback, bring him home and integrate him into Chivu’s squad. Or exercise the buyback and immediately sell him at a significant profit.
Indeed, the second option cannot be ruled out.
Should an irresistible offer arrive, well above the €22 million Inter pay to reacquire him, the club may choose to treat him as a valuable asset rather than a squad member.
However, the dream for Stankovic remains returning to the club where he grew up, and playing under the same coach who will lead Inter next season.
