Brentford's €40m bid for Aleksandar Stankovic has been rejected by Inter, according to reports. The 21-year-old midfielder impressed in Belgium last season, winning the Belgian Pro League title and individual award. Stankovic is set to remain at Inter, despite Brentford's interest. The Italian club are still keen on adding Liverpool's Curtis Jones to their midfield, and have a number of options available. Stankovic's rejection is a blow to Brentford, who are looking to strengthen their squad ahead of the new season. The Bees currently sit 9th in the Premier League, 53 points from 38 games, and are 32 points behind leaders Arsenal. They have scored 55 goals and conceded 52 this season, and are looking to improve their form. Brentford's next fixture is against Manchester United on November 28, and they will be looking to bounce back from their recent form, which has seen them win 0 games, draw 3, and lose 2 in their last 5 matches.
