Inter Milan Believe Loaned-Out Midfielder Can Become ‘The Next Hakan Calhanoglu’ | OneFootball

Inter Milan believe that midfielder Aleksandar Stankovic can become “the next Hakan Calhanoglu” in the first team.

This according to Italian outlet Gazzetta.it. They report that behind the scenes the Nerazzurri are very pleased with Stankovic’s development on loan at Luzern.

Inter Milan midfielder Aleksandar Stankovic has spent this 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 have a purchase option on Stankovic. They can sign the Serb on a permanent basis for a fee of €1.5 million.

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

Inter’s plan for next season will be similar to this one with Aleksandar Stankovic.

The Nerazzurri will loan the 19-year-old out again. There is certainly no rush to bring him back to the first team.

A number of clubs have expressed an interest in Stankovic’s signature.

These include Club Brugge, Anderlecht, and Stuttgart.

And the Gazzetta report that behind the scenes, Inter have faith that Stankovic will only continue to build on his momentum with Luzern over the next season or two.

So much so, in fact, that Inter expect that the Serb can earn himself a place in the first team.

And Inter even predict that Stankovic can hit the lofty heights where he would fill the shoes of Hakan Calhanoglu.
