RB Leipzig scouted 20-year-old Serbian-Italian midfielder Aleksandar Stankovic during a match against Marseille. It is reported that Tottenham and Atalanta also attended this event. Further interest in the midfielder has been mentioned from clubs including Newcastle, Manchester United, Arsenal, Atlético Madrid, and Real Madrid.
However, his former club Internazionale holds a significant advantage, having inserted a buy-back clause when he transferred to Club Brugge in July 2025 for a fee reported to be €9.5 million. This clause allows Inter to re-sign Stankovic for €23 million in the summer of 2026 and for €25 million one year later. The Italian club must decide whether to activate the option in the first weeks of June. The Serbian international, who has 4 caps and 1 goal for his country, has 4 goals and 1 assist in 22 Jupiler Pro League appearances this season. His contract runs until 2029 and he has a current Transfermarkt market value of €15.00m.
