"Born on April 2, 2000, Stanišić was raised by Croatian parents in Munich and bounced around from lower-league clubs like TSV 1860 Munich and SC Fürstenfeldbruck, before earning a move to Bayern Munich in January 2017, where he rose through the ranks and eventually made his Bundesliga debut in a 1-1 draw vs. Union Berlin on April 10, 2021. Stanišić established himself as a prominent rotational figure under Julian Nagelsmann before eventually deciding to head out on loan and join Bayer Leverkusen."
"It proved to be an intelligent decision, with Stanišić becoming a regular starter under Xabi Alonso and helping Die Werkself win a domestic double (including a maiden Bundesliga title) as well as reach the UEFA Europa League Final, cementing his status in Leverkusen lore alongside the likes of Ricardo Faty and Florian Wirtz. He then returned to Munich and signed a contract extension through 2029, where he helped Bayern restore their broken dynasty under new manager Vincent Kompany, playing 26 times in all competitions and proving to be a versatile performer across the backline."
