Inter Milan and Club Brugge have been negotiating the transfer of teenage midfielder Aleksandar Stankovic.
Stankovic, the son of legendary former Inter and Lazio midfielder Dejan, enjoyed an excellent season on loan at Swiss side Lugano last season.
Therefore, the Swiss club exercised a purchase option on the 19-year-old. However, Inter swiftly signed him right back via a buyback clause.

According to the Gazzetta, the two clubs are in agreement on a fee of around €10 million for Stankovic.
However, as they had done with Lugano last summer, Inter are insisting on a buyback clause.
Naturally, Club Brugge are seeking to set that buyback as high as possible. They would like it to be at around €30 million.
Meanwhile, Inter are hoping for around €25 million.
Therefore, the two clubs are continuing to try and work out the buyback clause in talks.

Luis Sharpe, former Cardinals All-Pro tackle, dead at 65
Former NFL offensive tackle Luis Sharpe, a three-time Pro Bowler, died on Friday, his former team confirmed. He was 65. Sharpe played in the league for 13 seasons, all with the Arizona Cardinals franchise. He was a first-round pick of the St. Louis Cardinals in 1982. While Sharpe only played for the Cardinals, he played in three different cities. He spent the first six seasons of his career in St. Louis, and the next six seasons in Phoenix when the team moved to Arizona. The final season of Sharpe's career was the first one the Cardinals franchise rebranded to become the Arizona Cardinals. Sharpe started all 189 games he played in his career. "Throughout his lengthy and accomplished career with the Cardinals, Luis Sharpe exhibited an uncommon type of strength and toughness that made him so successful as a player," Cardinals owner Michael Bidwill said in a statement. "Admirably, he would later demonstrate those same traits in dealing with the personal challenges he faced when his career was over. We send our deepest condolences to all of those who loved Luis, in particular his family and former teammates." Following his NFL career, Sharpe battled a drug addiction and spent time in jail, but he turned his life around and got sober. In 2015, Sharpe moved back to his home state of Michigan to get out of Arizona. "I feel a sense of purpose now," Sharpe told The Athletic in 2020. "I feel more significant than I ever did when I was playing professional football. My life is better today. I tell people all the time, 'What I thought was my greatest curse has turned into my greatest blessing.'" In the final years of his life, Sharpe spent time counseling patients in Detroit at a sobriety clinic. The three-time Pro Bowler also worked with the NFL to help former players with their health in their post-playing days. "I recognize today I have the life I have because I've overcome so many obstacles and so many challenges," Sharpe said. "God wanted me to go out and do exactly what I'm doing, to share my life with others, to tell them my fall from grace and say, 'If I can stand before you today as a productive member of society, so can you.'"

Queen of the Giro mountains: Aussie Gigante wins again
Australian cycling star Sarah Gigante has won a second stage in her dream Giro d'Italia week to move into a podium spot -- and she's not ruled out a dramatic last-day triumph in the great race. Just three days after the recording the biggest win of her flourishing career in the mountainous fourth stage, the 24-year from Melbourne pulled off an even more remarkable win in the penultimate seventh stage in the Umbrian Apennines on Saturday. It shot the euphoric Gigante into third position in the overall standings, just one minute 11 seconds adrift of Italian race leader Elisa Longo Borghini, who took the pink jersey off Swiss Marlen Reusser by 22 seconds. 🎙️ check out the post-race interview with the Australian Queen of Mountains @SarahGigante 🩷🎙️ guarda l'intervista con la Regina australiana delle Montagne Sarah Gigante 🩷#GirodItaliaWomen #WonderfulWomen #WOW | @agsoudal @UCI_WWT — Giro d'Italia Women (@girowomen) July 12, 2025 That's left Gigante still dreaming of an unlikely triumph after Sunday's final eighth stage, a 130km route between Forlì and Imola. "I'm still a bit far back in the general classification, but I'll give it a go tomorrow," said the AG Insurance-Soudal rider. "Obviously, will be hard to defend that lead, but we'll try." Gigante was all smiles after an interviewer suggested following her second stunning triumph -- this time in the race's most demanding 'queen stage' -- that she might now like to be called the 'princess of the mountains'. "The princess? Yeah, sure - or the queen!" she responded with a laugh. Gigante left the home fans stunned when she broke away from the pack on the final climb of the 150km route from Fermignano to Monte Nerone to catch their hero, stage leader Longo Borghini, with three kilometres to go. She then powered away to annex the stage win by 45 seconds, recording the fastest time ever by a woman rider on the Monte Nerone ascent. "I had studied the final climb and decided to attack on the steep section. I wanted to show that stage four-win wasn't just a one-off, but that I came to Italy to achieve great results," she said. 🇦🇺 a 24 years old from Melbourne, Australia, is in Italy to conquer every climb: @SarahGigante records the fastest known time on Monte Nerone 🚄🇦🇺 Sarah Gigante ha realizzato il miglior tempo di sempre sul Monte Nerone 🚄#GirodItaliaWomen #WonderfulWomen #WOW — Giro d'Italia Women (@girowomen) July 12, 2025 This exciting talent had surgery last year to fix Iliac artery endofibrosis, a debilitating condition that occurs when high blood flow and repetitive hip flexion cause the artery to narrow. Last year's Tour Down Under winner in Adelaide has snared three senior national road titles, but these four days have represented the highlight of her career. "I knew I felt really good," she said, when she decided to attack Longo Borghini. "I saw on my Garmin, there was a little flat section, and then it went steep again. "And I knew she was pretty tired after being out there a while, and I felt good -- so I went for it, although I was dying a thousand deaths in the last kilometre because it was so steep. "It's really special moving into the GC podium place," added Gigante, who had been sixth overnight and is now also lying second, just a point behind Spain's Usoa Ostolaza, in the Queen of the Mountains standings. "That's really special. It's my first year. I did the Vuelta last year, and I finished 19th, and then I was seventh on the Tour (de France). So if I can come home with third place overall this week, then I'd be very happy."
