Despite returning to San Siro after an impressive season, Stankovic has no space in Cristian Chivu's set-up.
Therefore, another loan stint away from Serie A looks likely.
Club Brugge have displayed interest in the young midfielder amid talks Ardon Jashari could join AC Milan.

Furthermore, Stankovic is enthusiastic about moving to the Belgian Pro League.
Meanwhile, Inter will not stand in his way and may soon open talks with the club from the Jan Breydel Stadium.
Though a permanent transfer remains a possibility, it's more likely Stankovic would depart for another loan.

WNBA Player Makes Career Decision on Thursday After Being Released
WNBA Player Makes Career Decision on Thursday After Being Released originally appeared on Athlon Sports. It's been quite the journey for 32-year-old Julie Vanloo. After recently winning EuroBasket Women 2025 for the second time in her career with the Belgian national team, Vanloo was traveling from Athens to San Francisco when she learned she had been released by the Golden State Valkyries. Advertisement Understandably shocked and disappointed, Vanloo didn't remain a free agent for long. Known as one of Europe's top guards, she came to the WNBA later in her career after a successful run overseas. She played with the Washington Mystics in 2024, then was selected by Golden State in the WNBA expansion draft. Now, she's found a new home in Los Angeles. The Sparks officially signed Vanloo on Thursday afternoon, announcing the move with a post on X: 'Sparks sign guard Julie Vanloo. Welcome to LA, Julie!' While with Washington last season, Vanloo played in all 40 games and started 34 of them. She averaged 7.4 points and 4.3 assists per game, and her 173 assists were the seventh most by a WNBA rookie in 2024. Advertisement Her time in Golden State was less productive. She appeared in just nine games, starting two, and averaged 4.6 points and 4.1 assists in 20 minutes per game before being waived. Former Golden State Valkyries guard Julie Vanloo (35).Kirby Lee-Imagn Images Vanloo joined the Sparks' active roster ahead of their Thursday night road game against the New York Liberty, hoping to provide immediate impact. The Sparks will face Indiana on Saturday before returning home to host Minnesota on July 10. Los Angeles enters Thursday with a 5-12 record, sitting sixth in the Western Conference. The team has dropped seven of its last 10 games, including a 92-85 home loss to Chicago on Sunday, struggling with injuries and inconsistent bench production.

Spain's New Star, Vicky López, Announces Her Presence at Euro 2025
From the country that claimed the last four Ballon d'Or awards, Spain has a new star. The 18-year-old Vicky López announced her arrival on the big stage Thursday by helping Spain to an opening 5-0 rout of Portugal at the Women's European Championship. It was Spain's biggest win at the tournament, eclipsing the 4-1 win over Finland at Euro 2022. López added the second goal just minutes after Esther González scored the first, and she proved a constant threat for the beleaguered Portuguese defense, setting up chances for Alexia Putellas and playing a decisive role before González' second goal. Her performance earned praise from Spain coach Montse Tomé, even if she understandably tried to reign in the burgeoning expectations. "She's a young player with whom we have to be patient," Tomé said. "We've been working with her for a year, almost two years now. We have a lot of faith in her talent, and she's at a point where we've been able to give her minutes (of playing time) now. She responded well. She did the job she had to do very well." Tomé said López still had plenty of time to develop. "We have to keep helping her improve. She's very young, and we're here to help her continue enjoying what she does," the Spain coach said. It's clear that Tomé's faith is paying off for the player. "When I play with confidence, I play better," López told media in the mixed zone after Thursday's match. "When you play without confidence, it's bad. Ultimately I'm grateful for the trust that I'm shown because I try to be myself on the field." López played till the 81st minute when she made way for Aitana Bonmatí, who started on the bench after being hospitalized for viral meningitis last week. Bonmatí won the last two Ballon d'Or awards. Putellas won the previous two. All three players are teammates at Barcelona. At 18 days and 342 days old, López became Spain's youngest player to appear at the European Championship. She'd already set the record as the country's youngest player when she made her debut last year. López became the youngest player to play in Spain's top women's league when she played for Madrid CFF aged 15. She joined Barcelona in 2022 and went on to break more records there because of her age, including becoming the club's youngest player, male or female, to appear in the Champions League. "My family is the foundation of my entire life, and, of course, my father," said López, whose mother died when she was 11 years old, and who still looks to the sky after she scores. Though Bonmatí is likely to play a greater role in the next games, López will get more opportunities to shine. She's already thinking of the team's goals. "We're hungry for more," López said. "I think if we keep going like this, playing as a team and having that luck in front of goal, we'll be able to play a very good European Championship." Up next, Spain plays Belgium on Monday (noon ET on FS1). Reporting by The Associated Press. Want great stories delivered right to your inbox?

Alexander-Arnold settling in as Real Madrid target Club World Cup glory
Real Madrid defender Trent Alexander-Arnold is finding his footing at the club as they prepare to face Borussia Dortmund (CHARLY TRIBALLEAU) Real Madrid paid extra to bring defender Trent Alexander-Arnold in early from Liverpool to compete in the Club World Cup and it is paying off as they prepare to face Borussia Dortmund in the quarter-finals. The England international created the only goal of the game for Gonzalo Garcia as Xabi Alonso's side beat Italian giants Juventus 1-0 in the last 16. Advertisement With Alonso moving to a back three as soon as he had the personnel available, Alexander-Arnold has benefitted from playing as a right wing-back in their last two matches. That is where he is set to continue against German outfit Dortmund in New Jersey on Saturday at the MetLife Stadium. Alexander-Arnold's floated cross for Gonzalo against Juventus was the precise kind of attacking output that led Madrid to bring him in. "He could have had many more assists already," said Los Blancos goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois. "In training, he is horrible to play against. His corner kicks are another level. Advertisement "I don't think I have seen a guy like this with such quality. As a goalkeeper it is a nightmare, but it will help make me better." Madrid skipper Dani Carvajal is back from a long-term injury but may end up being used more as a centre-back than in the wing-back position now that Alexander-Arnold has arrived. Los Blancos paid as much as 10 million euros ($11.75 million) according to reports to sign the 26-year-old a month before his Liverpool deal expired, but have already made approximately 54 million euros for reaching the Club World Cup quarter-finals. After struggling a little at right-back against Al Hilal in Madrid's opening 1-1 draw, Alexander-Arnold has steadily improved. Advertisement Manchester City's 4-3 defeat by the Saudi Arabian club showed in hindsight the defender's problems were not entirely of his own making. - Repeat with a twist - As well as beating Dortmund in the 2024 Champions League final, Madrid came from two goals behind to thrash them 5-2 this season in the group phase of the same competition. However both teams have changed significantly since then. They have new coaches, in the newly-appointed Alonso and Dortmund's Niko Kovac, who has done a fine job since arriving in January, helping them secure qualification for next season's Champions League. Advertisement Alexander-Arnold and Dean Huijsen's arrivals have shaken up Madrid's defence, while Borussia Dortmund brought in Jobe Bellingham from Sunderland. However the midfielder's yellow card against Monterrey in the 2-1 last 16 win means he is suspended for the clash against Madrid and will therefore not face his older brother Jude Bellingham. Madrid's French striker Kylian Mbappe did not score in the rout of Dortmund in October amid a crisis of confidence, but since then has found top form. After returning from a stomach bug as a substitute against Juventus, Mbappe will be keen to start against the Bundesliga side and add to his tally of 43 goals. Advertisement The former Paris Saint-Germain star, who is on a collision course with his former club in the semi-finals should they both progress, could come in for Gonzalo, despite the 21-year-old scoring three goals at the tournament. "It's inexplicable," said the forward, whom Alonso compared to former Madrid great Raul, saying Gonzalo had some of the same qualities. "I saw a great ball coming in from Trent, I saw Rudiger didn't get to it and I said to myself, 'this is mine!'" added Gonzalo of his goal against Juventus. Alonso, who arrived at Madrid from Bayer Leverkusen, will take on his former Bundesliga rivals Dortmund. Advertisement "We know (him) very well, he worked two and a half years in Germany, and he did a fantastic job," said Kovac. "Now he's implementing everything he had in Leverkusen at Real Madrid. So we're expecting the same what we had in Leverkusen, only with different players. "We're looking forward to it but you have to play football for 90 minutes, and if we put everything onto the pitch, the same performance as we saw (against Monterrey), I think that we will have a good chance." rbs/ea
