Filip Stankovic is manning the sticks for Inter while they are having trouble replacing André Onana and Samir Handanovic. He played the whole friendly versus PSG and was sure-handed. Third-stringer Raffaele Di Gennaro was fielded for just 45 minutes in the last two pre-season tilts combined.
According to Tuttomercatoweb, part of the management is in favor of keeping the youngster. He already has two seasons as a starter with Volendam under his belt. The 21-year-old featured in 64 matches, allowing 113 goals and keeping 12 clean sheets. He helped his team get promoted in 2021/2022 and starred in Eredivisie in the past campaign.
With 18 days to go before the opener against Monza, Stankovic sits atop the Inter depth chart. The Nerazzurri had planned to loan him out to an Italian side before their pursuits stalled. Sampdoria are in the lead to capture him.
Thomas Tuchel discussed the future of Yann Sommer after a friendly Tuesday (via EuroSport).
“He wants to leave, but he has a contract and we have to protect the interest of the clubs. It’s not easy when your teammates are in Manuel Neuer. We are happy with him because he’s a great goalie. He might stay with us.”
According to Gianluca Di Marzio, after trying to negotiate a lower fee, Inter are considering triggering the Swiss international’s €6M release clause to snap him up.
