Bruges, Belgium – Belgian giants Club Brugge have officially confirmed the signing of promising Serbian midfielder Aleksandar Stanković from Inter Milan, in a move that underscores the club’s continued focus on developing young talent with elite potential.
The 19-year-old, son of former Inter legend Dejan Stanković, has signed a long-term deal with the Pro League club after completing his medical and finalizing terms earlier this week. The move brings an end to his formative years at Inter, where he rose through the youth ranks and made a name for himself as one of the Nerazzurri’s most technically gifted academy products.
“We are thrilled to welcome Aleksandar to Club Brugge,” the club said in a statement. “He is a player with enormous potential, strong football intelligence, and the hunger to grow within our project.”
Stanković made headlines at a young age due to his family name, but it was his own performances that earned him praise within Italian football circles. Known for his calm presence in midfield, impressive passing range, and leadership qualities, he captained Inter’s Primavera (U19) side and was tipped as one of the future stars of the club.
Although he didn’t yet break into the senior Inter squad for Serie A action, his development at youth level caught the attention of several European clubs—ultimately leading Club Brugge to secure his signature.
“It’s the right time for a new challenge,” Stanković said in his first interview with Brugge’s media team. “I’m proud of everything I experienced at Inter, but I’m excited to join a club with big ambitions and a great tradition of helping young players succeed.”
Club Brugge has built a reputation in recent years for blending experienced professionals with high-potential prospects from across Europe and beyond. The signing of Stanković aligns perfectly with their philosophy of investing in the future while remaining competitive domestically and in Europe.
Stanković is expected to slot into the midfield rotation immediately, offering tactical versatility and maturity beyond his years. His ability to dictate tempo and transition play could prove vital as Brugge aims to reclaim the Belgian title and make another strong showing in UEFA competition.
As the son of a footballing legend, Aleksandar Stanković carries a well-known surname, but he’s carving out his own path. Dejan Stanković, known for his incredible career with Inter, Lazio, and the Serbian national team, has expressed pride in his son’s journey and supported the decision to take his next step in Belgium.
“This is Aleksandar’s career, and he’s earned every opportunity through hard work and dedication,” said one source close to the family. “Brugge is the perfect place for him to keep growing.”
With the transfer now official, all eyes will be on how Aleksandar Stanković adapts to life in Belgium and how quickly he can make an impact. One thing is certain: Club Brugge has landed a young talent with the pedigree, potential, and hunger to shine.
