It remains to be seen whether they decide to sign this player in the near future.<\/p>\n<p>Arsenal are also keeping an eye on Stankovic.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Man_United_and_Spurs_scout_Aleksandar_Stankovic\"><\/span>Man United and Spurs scout Aleksandar Stankovic<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>&#8220;A lot of English clubs go to watch him play and scout him live, like Tottenham, Manchester United and a lot of teams,&#8221; Mollet said on Fabrizio Romano&#8217;s YouTube channel.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8220;But Inter are continuing to monitor Stankovi\u0107&#8217;s development and are very calm about it. Why? Because they have the option of paying 23 million euros and bringing him back in the summer of 2026 (July 2026) or 25 million euros and bringing him back in July 2027. So basically, in the end, it&#8217;s all in Inter&#8217;s hands.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"my-2 (&amp;+p):mt-4 (&amp;_strong:has(+br)):inline-block (&amp;_strong:has(+br)):pb-2\">The midfielder joined the Belgian club from Inter Milan and achieved great results for the team. Meanwhile, Inter are monitoring his progress and have the option of bringing him back to the club. They could sign him for 23 million euros at the end of the season, or 25 million euros in the summer of 2027. This clearly gives the Italian club an advantage in the transfer race.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Both_clubs_could_use_Stankovic\"><\/span>Both clubs could use Stankovi\u0107<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><picture><source type=\"image\/webp\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/icdn.caughtoffside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/fc-bayern-munchen-v-club-brugge-kv-uefa-champions-league-2025-26-league-phase-md3-1-414x276.jpg.webp 414w,https:\/\/icdn.caughtoffside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/fc-bayern-munchen-v-club-brugge-kv-uefa-champions-league-2025-26-league-phase-md3-1-630x420.jpg.webp 630w,https:\/\/icdn.caughtoffside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/fc-bayern-munchen-v-club-brugge-kv-uefa-champions-league-2025-26-league-phase-md3-1-768x512.jpg.webp 768w,https:\/\/icdn.caughtoffside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/fc-bayern-munchen-v-club-brugge-kv-uefa-champions-league-2025-26-league-phase-md3-1-770x513.jpg.webp 770w,https:\/\/icdn.caughtoffside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/fc-bayern-munchen-v-club-brugge-kv-uefa-champions-league-2025-26-league-phase-md3-1-900x600.jpg.webp 900w,https:\/\/icdn.caughtoffside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/fc-bayern-munchen-v-club-brugge-kv-uefa-champions-league-2025-26-league-phase-md3-1-1200x800.jpg.webp 1200w,https:\/\/icdn.caughtoffside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/fc-bayern-munchen-v-club-brugge-kv-uefa-champions-league-2025-26-league-phase-md3-1-1536x1024.jpg.webp 1536w,https:\/\/icdn.caughtoffside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/fc-bayern-munchen-v-club-brugge-kv-uefa-champions-league-2025-26-league-phase-md3-1-2048x1365.jpg.webp 2048w\" data-sizes=\"(min-width:1230px) 770px, (min-width:1020px) 630px, (min-width:900px) 880px, (min-width:680px) 97vw, (min-width:414px) 414px, 100vw\"\/><\/picture><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Bayern Munich&#8217;s Harry Kane attempts a shot under pressure from Club Brugge&#8217;s Aleksandar Stankovic (Photo by Alexander Hassenstein\/Getty Images)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"my-2 (&amp;+p):mt-4 (&amp;_strong:has(+br)):inline-block (&amp;_strong:has(+br)):pb-2\">It remains to be seen whether Manchester United and Tottenham will continue their interest and make formal offers to complete the deal. The young midfielder can play as a defensive midfielder or central defender. His versatility will be a big bonus. Both clubs need more quality in their defensive midfield departments and the 20-year-old would be a long-term signing. They have the resources to pay more than Inter Milan and it remains to be seen how the situation will develop.<\/p>\n<p class=\"my-2 (&amp;+p):mt-4 (&amp;_strong:has(+br)):inline-block (&amp;_strong:has(+br)):pb-2\">The midfielder could be attracted to playing in the Premier League. It would be a big step up for him and would allow him to play for some of the biggest clubs in the world. Manchester United need a long-term replacement for Casemiro and signing Stankovic makes a lot of sense. Meanwhile, Tottenham will need a replacement for Yves Bissouma, who is expected to leave this summer.<\/p>\n<p><!-- Article End -->\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Manchester United players held a minute&#8217;s silence in memory of former footballer Diogo Jota.
