The Serbian midfielder, who had an injury-plagued 2007-2008 season, is believed to be out of favor for new coach Jose Mourinho at San Siro.

Juventus were reportedly interested in signing him, but the Old Lady's supporters did not welcome the prospected transfer.

Juve fan forums included unanimous protests from club fans, who could not forget that Stankovic snubbed the Bianconeri before joining Inter from Lazio.

However, it was rumored that Juve chairman Giovanni Cobolli Gigli ruled out the move for the 29-year-old.
