Chelsea’s pursuit of Aleksander Stankovic faces uncertainty after the highly rated midfielder openly admitted that his “dream move” would be to join Inter Milan.
The 20-year-old, who has been monitored by CHELSEA for several months, made the admission in comments reported by Italian outlet Calciomercato — a development that could complicate the Premier League side’s efforts to lure him to Stamford Bridge.
Stankovic, currently regarded as one of Europe’s most technically gifted young midfielders, has seen his stock rise sharply over the last year following standout performances domestically and internationally. His ability to dictate tempo, press aggressively and operate in multiple midfield roles has attracted interest across the continent, with Chelsea among the clubs exploring a potential move.
However, his latest remarks may force a reassessment in west London. “Inter Milan has always been my dream,” Stankovic said, according to Calciomercato. “It is a club I have followed since I was a child, and wearing that shirt one day would be something special.”
For Chelsea, who have made long-term squad building a key component of their recruitment strategy under their current ownership model focused on securing elite young talent, Stankovic represents the profile they typically target: young, high-ceiling, tactically flexible and not yet at peak market price.
But the player’s public declaration raises questions about both feasibility and motivation.
IcChelseanews Says…
Look, we are linked with every young player that is making a name for himself in the game, and Stankovic is the next target that we will be linked with again, and again, and again, and again over the next few months.
We are not sure a move will be made by the CHELSEA board, especially after the lad confirmed that he would prefer a move to Inter, but he is clearly talented and would add something different to the Blues squad if signed.
