Blanc: We Could Sign Stankovic

Juventus managing director Jean-Claude Blanc could perform a transfer u-turn after admitting that the club may sign Inter’s Dejan Stankovic.

Blanc announced last week that the Bianconeri would be buying no more outfield players this summer, having completed the capture of Sevilla midfielder Christian Poulsen.

Despite this announcement the Italian press has continued to link Juve with a number of players, and there have been reports that Inter’s Dejan Stankovic could arrive in Turin, possibly on loan.

"I think the team is closed," said Blanc.

"But if there was a chance, then Stankovic could play behind the strikers, in a midfield diamond, or act as cover for Pavel Nedved."

Prior to signing Poulsen, Juventus had been involved in advanced negotiations for Stankovic, and it was even erroneously reported at one stage that the transfer had all but been completed.

Juve supporters are heavily against the signing of Stankovic, and indeed launched a campaign against his transfer about a month ago. The player himself is not thought to be in new Inter boss Jose Mourinho’s first team plans.
