According to Corriere dello Sport, there was an offer this summer of €40 million plus €5 million in bonuses from the Premier League. Sky Sports and Football Italia name Brentford as the club behind that offer. Inter rejected the offer, and after that another loan spell was considered, but Stankovic repeatedly turned it down. At the end of August, Sky Sport Italia reported that Stankovic was not for sale, not even on a loan basis.

Inter rejected a 40 million offer from Brentford for Aleksandar Stankovic in the summer. The Serbian midfielder chose to stay in Milan, confident he would get playing time, though a January loan is possible if his minutes remain limited. Several Premier League clubs, including Liverpool, Tottenham Hotspur, and Manchester United, have also recently been linked with the player.
