Aleksandar Stanković on the radar: BVB enquire about Serbian top talent | OneFootball

Borussia Dortmund will likely have to remove Dutch U21 international Kees Smit from their list of potential new signings, as AZ Alkmaar is reportedly demanding 60 million euros for the 19-year-old. However, according to a report from the Gazzetta dello Sport, BVB also has another young midfielder in their sights.

According to the Italian newspaper, BVB is among a larger group of clubs interested in Aleksandar Stanković. The 20-year-old Serbian, whose father Dejan Stanković played at a top level for many years, particularly for Inter Milan and Lazio Rome, and is now the coach of Red Star Belgrade, moved to Club Brugge for nearly ten million euros from Inter after a successful loan to FC Luzern this summer and has really taken off there.

Stanković Hopes for Future at Inter

Stanković has become a key player at the Belgian top club and made his debut for the Serbian national team in October. The now four-time senior international is reportedly of interest to several English clubs such as Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur, and Newcastle United. From Germany, besides BVB, Bayer Leverkusen has also expressed interest.

The decision ultimately lies with Inter Milan, as the Nerazzurri have secured a buy-back option for Stanković, knowing his potential, which could be exercised in the summer of 2026 for 23 million euros and a year later for 25 million euros. Inter has not yet decided, but it is considered unlikely that the option will not be used—even if only to sell Stanković elsewhere at a higher price.

Stanković himself would likely be happy to return to Milan, as it is the great dream of the midfielder to win titles with Inter, just like his father once did.
