Cristian Chivu and Kolarov consider him a talent to invest in for the future, and Stankovic dreams of returning to Inter.
The deal with Inter included various structures giving the Italian club control, including two buy-back clauses. According to club media L’Interista, Inter has a master plan to bring Stankovic back only in 2027. The club would like him to mature in Brugge for at least two seasons, and if he continues to make progress, Inter will activate the 25 million euro clause in the summer of 2027.
