Inter in Appiano Gentile: Stankovic reignites €40 million for Chivu
Aleksandar Stankovic remains an enigma for Inter at Appiano Gentile, where his brief two‑minute plus stoppage‑time cameo in the 4‑3 defeat to Bruges in the Champions provided the assist for Bonny's goal. The move has reignited rumours of a possible €40 million transfer for Cristian Chivu, with the Premier League ready to make its presence felt again.
Stankovic's marginal role
The Serbian midfielder, initially competing with Hakan Calhanoglu for a starting spot, came onto the pitch for only a few minutes, but has already logged 46 minutes across four matches in the league and the Champions, tallying an assist. Despite the limited time, his presence was noticed.
The summer sirens from the Premier League have not quieted; according to the Spanish daily, a €40 million offer could push Inter not to reject a potential sale of Chivu in January.
Meanwhile, the injury to Curtis Jones, mentioned on the same day, could have provided more space for Chivu, but the Serbian's development project still appears uncertain.
The Nerazzurri club, disappointed by the defeat in Spain, is watching external offers closely, while pressure on the squad mounts.
