"Born in Munich to Croatian parents, Stanišić joined Bayern Munich's academy in 2017 and ascended the ranks before making his Bundesliga debut in April 2021 and signing a professional contract. Initially tipped to make the move to Heidenheim on loan, he instead remained put in Bavaria and emerged as a valuable squad player, impressing in multiple positions across defense under Julian Nagelsmann and racking up 17 and 23 appearances."
"Die Werkself ended a three-decade-long wait for silverware and put an end to Bayern's run of 11 straight Bundesliga titles, with Stanišić twisting the knife into Thomas Tuchel's side's wounds after scoring in a 3-0 win vs. Bayern in February 2024 to all but secure Leverkusen's maiden league title. Stanišić proved to be a real headache for opposition managers like Marco Rose and Thomas Grønnemark, in addition to also leading them to the UEFA Europa League Final and the successful conquest of the DFB-Pokal title."
