Yahoo Sports Venezia Pushing To Sign Inter Milan Goalkeeper Today
Venezia are pushing to sign Inter Milan goalkeeper Filip Stankovic today.
This according to Italian broadcaster Sky Sport Italia, via FCInterNews. Sky reports that there have been intense talks today as the newly-promoted Serie A aim to wrap up the 22-year-old’s signing ahead of the competition.
Inter are virtually certain to send keeper Stankovic out on another loan next season.
The Serb spent last season on loan with Sampdoria.
The Blucerchiati had a purchase option that would have become an obligation to sign Stankovic on a permanent basis at the end of last season had they won promotion to Serie A.
However, Sampdoria failed to do so.
Therefore, Stankovic is likely to go to a different club on loan.
Sampdoria had in fact shown an interest in bringing Stankovic back to Liguria for next season.
However, it has been teams in Serie A that have really come forward. Empoli had sounded out a loan for the 22-year-old.
But it has been Venezia who have really pushed for a deal. The newly-promoted team are looking for a new keeper, and have been in negotiations with Inter.
