Stuttgart and Wolfsburg are chasing Inter talent Stanković – who will win?
The transfer rumors in the Bundesliga are rampant and the two clubs Stuttgart and Wolfsburg are at the top of the list. The reason: Aleksandar Stanković from Inter Milan. The talented 19-year-old, son of former football star Dejan Stanković, continues to show promising performances after his loan to Swiss club Lucerne. Last season he scored three goals and provided two assists in 40 games, which underlines his potential. Both Stuttgart and Wolfsburg have now expressed interest in signing the midfielder, as OneFootball reports.
While Stanković has a contract with Inter until 2028, the club is planning various options for the coming season. Clubs like Brugge are also keeping an eye on the talented midfielder, making the situation even more complex. Stuttgart, meanwhile, are looking to strengthen their squad, especially after rumors surface about Enzo Millot, who has a €20 million release clause in his contract with Paris Saint-Germain. Saudi clubs are also tempting Millot, which increases the pressure on VfB, masmma.com reports on the tense situations of the two clubs.
Wolfsburg's new course
In the Wolfsburg camp it is “new times, new faces”. With Paul Simonis as the new head coach, a fresh era begins that will be characterized by strategic commitments. For example, Elias Jelert from Copenhagen is on the wish list and could also come to Wolfsburg on loan with an option to buy. It remains exciting to see how the team will develop under Simonis and which players will be available to strengthen the team.
With the transfer window in full swing, Stanković could play a crucial role in the tactics of both Bundesliga clubs. The interest in young, talented players shows how seriously both Stuttgart and Wolfsburg approach their squad planning. The contract offers and possible transfers will become the focus of attention in the coming weeks.
Transfer balance and upcoming challenges
Across the Bundesliga, the transfer record shows positive signs, but there is still financial pressure that cannot be ignored. According to an overview on Transfermarkt, the league recorded a total of 311 departures and 326 additions, resulting in a loss of more than 89 million euros. The average transfer expenditure per club is just over 43 million euros, while income is around 39 million euros. At a time when financial strategies are crucial, it is essential for clubs like Stuttgart and Wolfsburg to have a good hand in their transfers.
The speculation surrounding Stanković is just the beginning of an exciting peak season for the Bundesliga. Fans can be curious to see what changes are coming in the next few weeks and whether the two clubs can successfully implement their plans.
