Inter Milan finalises Stankovic return and Dumfries departure

Inter Milan exercised a buy‑back clause to re‑sign 21‑year‑old midfielder Aleksandar Stanković from Club Brugge. The club announced a five‑year contract running from 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2031, after the Belgian side had acquired him for €9.5 million in 2025. Inter highlighted Stanković’s development and connection to the club’s history.

Separately, Inter confirmed the transfer of Dutch right‑back Denzel Dumfries to Real Madrid. The Spanish club triggered Dumfries’s release clause, ending his five‑year spell in Milan. Inter issued a statement thanking the player, who posted a farewell message on social media, describing his time at the club as an “incredible journey”.
