An idea for a swap deal involving Josep Martinez and 24-year-old Serbian-Italian goalkeeper Filip Stanković is being considered as Inter evaluates its goalkeeping options. The potential exchange is influenced by Martinez's desire for a move for more playing time, with a return to his home country or another club where he could be a starter being possibilities. It is reported that Inter views Stanković as a prospect for the future. The transfer's feasibility is significantly linked to Venezia's league status; promotion to Serie A could lead Stanković to seriously consider the move, while a failure to be promoted would complicate the deal.
This potential swap is one of several scenarios, as a contract renewal for Yann Sommer is reportedly the most concrete hypothesis at the moment. Stanković joined Venezia in July 2025, has made 31 appearances in Serie B this season, and his contract runs until June 2029. The goalkeeper has not yet made an appearance for the Serbian national team, has also been linked with Lazio and has a current market value of €7.00m, according to Transfermarkt.
