Inter, interest from England in Stankovic: a 40-million dilemma for Chivu

Aleksandar Stankovic remains something of a mystery at Inter in Appiano Gentile. Even on Inter's miserable Champions League night, a 4-3 defeat to Bruges, the Serbian midfielder played only two minutes plus stoppage time despite initially being expected to compete with Calhanoglu.

In that brief appearance, he set up Bonny's goal, reviving talk of his future ahead of January, when rumours from the Premier League will inevitably resurface.

  • Still on the fringes

    Across four matches in the league and Champions League, he has played just 46 minutes (plus stoppage time) and still managed an assist. For Chivu, he remains the last-choice reserve in midfield, even though Curtis Jones's injury could have given him more playing time today. The Serbian is still waiting for his chance, and the plan to help him develop is slowly stalling.

  • 40 million from the Premier League

    Amid deep frustration at Inter, AS reports a renewed push from Spain ahead of January. Premier League interest from the summer is gathering pace again, too. According to the Spanish newspaper, Inter will not turn down a €40 million offer in January this time.
