Report – Sassuolo Rival Club Brugge To Sign Teenage Inter Milan Midfielder | OneFootball

Sassuolo are reportedly ready to try and hijack the move by Club Brugge for Inter Milan midfielder Aleksandar Stankovic.

This according to Belgian outlet Voetbal24, via FCInter1908. They report that Brugge are worried that if the move stalls too far, then Sassuolo will take their chance.

Inter Milan midfielder Aleksandar Stankovic spent last season on loan with Swiss club Luzern.

The 19-year-old has enjoyed an outstanding campaign. So much so that he has even been tipped to win the midfielder of the year award for the Swiss Super League.

Luzern had a purchase option on Aleksandar Stankovic. They can sign the Serb on a permanent basis for a fee of €1.5 million.

However, Inter in turn had a buyback clause, and can bring Stankovic back immediately.

Sassuolo Rival Club Brugge For Aleksandar Stankovic

Belgian giants Club Brugge have reportedly come to the head of the queue to sign Stankovic this summer.

The Belgians have spent the past few weeks pursuing the young Serb.

Reports indicate that the two clubs have come close to an agreement. They have agreed on a €10 million fee or so.

However, the talks continue to drag on, reportedly over disagreements regarding a buyback option for Inter.

And according to Voetbal24, Brugge are worried that they could miss out.

The Belgian outlet report that Sassuolo, above all, are keen to hijack to deal for Stankovic.

The Neroverdi are back in Serie A after a season away. And they see the Serb as a target to bolster their squad for the top flight after their promotion last season.
