Inter Milan are bringing back Dejan Stankovic’s son Aleksandar on a five-year deal

Inter announced on Friday that it has used a buy-back clause to sign Aleksandar Stankovic from Club Brugge, with the Serbian midfielder signing a five-year contract.

The 20-year-old player is the son of former midfielder Dejan Stanković, who spent almost a decade in Milan and was part of the team that won the Champions League, Serie A and Italian Cup under José Mourinho in 2010. Current Inter coach Cristian Chivu also played in that squad.

Aleksandar Stankovic rose through the youth ranks at Inter but never made a senior appearance for the team before being loaned out to Swiss Super League club Luzern in 2024.

He signed for Brugge on a long-term contract the following season, but Inter exercised his buy-back clause at the first opportunity.

Inter reportedly sold Stankovic to Brugge for 10 million euros ($11.6 million) with the option to bring him back for 23 million euros ($26.8 million) in 2026, and a higher amount of 25 million euros ($29.1 million) if activated in June 2027.

Stankovic, a defensive midfielder, was ever-present for Brugge last season, scoring nine goals and five assists in all competitions to win the young player of the year award in the Belgian league.

He also played eight games for Serbia, scoring one goal.
