Stankovic: I choose Inter
Friday 19 December, 2003
Dejan Stankovic has finally ended the speculation surrounding his future by confirming he will join Inter.
“I am in a position to choose now,” confessed the Lazio midfielder in an interview with Sky Italia, “and I can say I choose Inter.”
The Serbian international has been linked to the Nerazzurri for several months and a January departure seems increasingly likely.
His contract is set to expire at the end of the season and he could effectively move on a free transfer in the summer.
“I want to win,” continued Stankovic, “and sooner or later Inter must break through this taboo and return to lifting trophies.”
Juventus were thought to be making a bid to intercept talks this month and tempt the player away from Inter’s clutches, but he has held firm with his initial agreement.
He will be reunited with former Lazio boss Alberto Zaccheroni at the San Siro, but curiously will play perhaps his last Biancocelesti game against his future teammates.
“I am glad that my ban was cut down to two games instead of three,” he concluded, “as that means I can play against Inter on Sunday. It was a sign from the Heavens.”
