Abdulhafiz TeslimAccording to reports from Tuttosport, Inter Milan have placed a €40 million valuation on highly rated midfielder Aleksandar Stanković, amid growing interest from Newcastle United.
The Magpies are said to have already made initial contact over the 20-year-old, who is viewed internally as a potential long-term solution in midfield. With uncertainty surrounding the future of Sandro Tonali, Newcastle are reportedly assessing Stanković as a possible replacement profile should the Italian depart during the summer transfer window.
Stanković, who spent last season on loan at Club Brugge, impressed with his productivity from midfield, registering 6 goals and 3 assists in 39 appearances across all competitions. His blend of physicality, technical ability, and attacking output has reportedly caught the attention of several European clubs, with Newcastle now among the most serious admirers.
Inter’s stance, however, is clear: they are under no pressure to sell and will only consider offers in the region of €40 million. The Italian giants are believed to rate Stanković highly as part of their long-term project, and any negotiations are expected to be complex unless Newcastle significantly increase their push.
For Newcastle, the situation ties into wider squad planning as they look to strengthen midfield depth ahead of a demanding campaign. Much depends on how Tonali’s situation develops, but Stanković is now emerging as one of the key names on their radar.
With interest building and valuation already set, this could become one of the more closely watched midfield transfer stories of the summer window.
