According to Inter Milan's team reporter Guaro, Inter Milan and Bruges reached an agreement on Stankovic's transfer fee, but Inter Milan hopes that Stankovic's repurchase clause will not exceed 15 million euros. Bruges disagreed and demanded 22 million to 23 million euros.
Transfer negotiations between Inter Milan and Bruges over young midfielder Alexander Stankovic, born in 2005, are still ongoing, but the two sides have not reached an agreement on the terms of the buyback.
In the past 48 hours, Inter Milan has held close negotiations with Bruges on a deal with Stankovic. The young player has attracted strong interest from the Belgian club, and Bruges himself may also sell Jashari to Milan to make room for signings.
Although Inter Milan and Bruges initially had differences on price and repurchase terms, the two sides are gradually getting closer to reaching an agreement. Inter Milan insists on retaining the right to repurchase in order to control the player's fate in the future, because the club believes that Stankovic has potential and is expected to succeed in the future.
Inter Milan's valuation of Stankovic was around 10 million euros, while Bruges' initial offer was below this amount. However, the negotiation atmosphere is positive, and Belgium seems to be ready to accept Inter Milan's requirements for player transfer fees (about 10 million euros). But the biggest point of disagreement at present turns to the buyback clause.
Bruges believes that the cost of investing 10 million euros is already considerable and he is unwilling to make further concessions on this basis. Inter Milan proposed to set a clause with a repurchase price of no more than 15 million euros, but Bruges did not accept this condition.
According to Bruges' position, if Inter Milan wants to buy back Stankovic in 12 months in the future, it may require payment of about 22 million to 23 million euros, almost twice the current investment of Bruges.
At present, the two sides are still negotiating on this clause. On the issue of repurchase terms, one party must make a compromise before the transaction can be reached.
