Josip Stanisic, born on 2 April 2000 (age 26), is a Croatia international right-back with Bayern Munich. His current market value is around £24m, according to Transfermarkt, which tells its own story about how firmly he now sits in the senior European market.
His development was helped by a spell away from Bayern at Bayer Leverkusen in 2023-24. It was also his most productive league season, with three goals in 20 appearances, and gave him regular work in a side where a full-back had to do more than simply survive without the ball.
Stanisic has since returned to Bayern, where he remains part of the first-team picture rather than an undisputed weekly starter. In 2026-27 he has made five appearances across all competitions, including three in the Bundesliga, one in the DFL-Supercup and one in the Champions League.
At international level, he has also been involved with Croatia, with World Cup and European qualifying appearances adding to his senior experience. His career to this point has been shaped by Bayern, sharpened by Leverkusen, and kept moving by steady involvement for club and country.
