Josip Stanisic, born on 2 April 2000 (age 26), is a Croatian right-back at Bayern Munich. His current market value is around £24m, according to Transfermarkt, which is about right for a player trusted at a club where patience is not usually over-supplied.
The useful stretch in his development came away from Bayern. His 2023-2024 loan spell at Bayer Leverkusen gave him regular league work and his most productive season in front of goal, with three goals in 20 league appearances. It was not a detour for decoration; it gave him proper senior responsibility in a strong side.
Back at Bayern, Stanisic has remained relevant rather than drifting into squad-player wallpaper. In 2025-2026, he has made 26 Bundesliga appearances and scored twice, with 10 Champions League appearances and one goal. Across all competitions for Bayern this season, he has made 37 appearances and scored three goals.
He has also stayed involved with Croatia, including five European World Cup qualifying appearances this season. His career so far is a tidy one: Bayern development, a productive Leverkusen loan, and a return to regular first-team football in Munich.
