Alexander Stankovic is mentioned in Germany as a possible winter signing for Borussia Dortmund. The interest comes at a time when several clubs are following his file.
Wintertransfer
According to the German BILD, Dortmund is investigating whether a bid in the winter period is feasible. The club will face competition from Inter, where Stankovic was previously under contract, and from Bayer Leverkusen. This increasing interest could cause his price to rise further, making a move difficult for Dortmund.
The reporting refers to a similar file from last summer. Ardon Jashari was then listed in Dortmund, but eventually moved to Milan for a significant fee. That situation is now being cited as a warning.
That is why Dortmund is considering switching faster. The club is examining whether an early move is necessary to stay ahead of other interested parties and thus capture the midfielder in time.
Profile of Stankovic
The German club already has several options in midfield, but sees Stankovic as a profile that can be complementary. He is described as a defensive midfielder with physical strength and neat passing work.
The player is the son of former Inter midfielder Dejan Stankovic. His development at Club Brugge has been rapid: he has made thirty appearances this season since his €9.5 million transfer last summer.
Dortmund hopes to conclude a financially interesting deal this month, although the question is whether blue-black wants to go along with it. After all, it is expected that the price for Stankovic will skyrocket in the summer. In any case, Inter have a fixed-price clause to buy back Stankovic for next summer.
