In late July 2026 Inter Milan confirmed that midfielder Petar Sucic would remain at the club, turning down offers from Newcastle United and Leeds United in the €35‑40 million range. The club emphasized Sucic’s importance after a productive debut Serie A season.

A week later, Inter again rejected a €40 million bid, this time from Brentford for Serbian midfielder Aleksandar Stankovic, after re‑activating a buy‑back clause to bring him back from Club Brugge. The rejection underscored Inter’s strategy of retaining key midfield talent while also entertaining speculation about a possible return for former winger Ivan Perišić.

Together, the snapshots show Inter Milan’s consistent approach of refusing sizable external offers to keep its midfield core intact ahead of the new season.
