Juventus could now be set to sign Inter Milan midfielder Dejan Stankovic on loan, according to the Gazzetta dello Sport.

The Bianconeri have all but completed the signing of Danish international Christian Poulsen from Sevilla, however Juve’s midfield department is still far from complete.

The news of Poulsen’s capture has been met with incredulity by Juve’s fans, who believe that, with the likes of Cristiano Zanetti and Momo Sissoko already at the club, what is really needed is a creative or attacking midfielder.

One offensive option that the Old Lady have been pursuing this summer is Inter’s Dejan Stankovic, and indeed a couple of weeks ago it was reported that a deal to sign the Serbian international had all but been arranged.

However, the Bianconeri supporters then campaigned against the possible transfer, claiming that they did want a Nerazzurro, who had spoken against Juve in the past, to join.

The deal was not completed, however the Gazzetta dello Sport is today claiming that Stankovic may still end up in Turin next season.

Sporting director Alessio Secco is lining up a loan move for the 30-year-old, and there is every chance of this being successful, as Inter boss Jose Mourinho has made it perfectly clear that Stankovic is not in his first team plans.
