Revealed – How Club Brugge Midfielder’s Return Affects Inter Milan Line-Up | OneFootball

Inter Milan will, in all likelihood, bring Club Brugge rising star Aleksandar Stankovic back to San Siro at the end of the season.

According to Corriere dello Sport via FCInter1908, the 20-year-old’s impending return could trigger a formational change.

Cristian Chivu was keen to transform Simone Inzaghi’s trademark 3-5-2 setup upon arrival last season.

Indeed, the 45-year-old coach was eager to switch Inter’s formation to a 3-4-2-1.

However, he has had to put his plan on hold after Inter failed to sign Ademola Lookman from Atalanta.

Things are likely to change next season.

How Aleksandar Stankovic Return Affects Inter Milan Formation

Inter have already decided to activate a €23 million buy-back clause in their agreement with Club Brugge.

Therefore, Aleksandar Stankovic will ply his trade at San Siro next term.

Meanwhile, the Nerazzurri remain interested in Roma star Manu Kone to bolster Chivu’s midfield options amid Hakan Calhanoglu’s uncertain future.

As for Stankovic, his return could allow Chivu to give up on a three-man midfield setup and play with two midfielders.

Indeed, the Serbian’s versatility and tactical intelligence could give the Romanian manager more flexibility in midfield.

The highly rated Serbian starlet would allow Inter to switch formations without losing balance or control.
