It is reported that Inter paid €23 million for Stanković, despite having sold him to Brugge last summer for €9.5 million.

This season, Stanković established himself as one of Brugge's key players, featuring in 55 matches for the Belgian giants, scoring 9 goals and providing 5 assists—performances that forced Inter to trigger the buy-back clause.

Aleksandar Stanković's market value is currently estimated at €32 million by Transfermarkt.
