Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur were among the clubs that showed interest in 21-year-old Serbian and Italian midfielder Aleksandar Stankovic over the summer. Liverpool also made an enquiry about the midfielder during their negotiations with Inter Milan over Curtis Jones. Stankovic had returned to Inter permanently after the club exercised a buy-back option following his spell at Club Brugge. Although Inter considered letting the player leave again almost immediately, potentially on a loan with an obligation to buy, the club ultimately decided to keep him after head coach Cristian Chivu was impressed and became ready to give him a first-team opportunity. According to TEAMtalk, Liverpool remain interested and are expected to continue monitoring the player. Stankovic has 8 caps and 1 goal for Serbia, and his contract with Inter Milan is valid until 2031. His current market value, according to Transfermarkt, is €32.00m.
