Josip Stanišić, a 25-year-old Croatian defender capable of playing as a right-back or center-back, has been with Bayern Munich since 2017. Milan is looking to acquire him in the final weeks of the transfer window to bolster their defense. Reports from the German newspaper Bild suggest that Stanišić's market value is 32 million euros, according to Transfermarkt, which might be a financial stretch for Milan at this time. Despite having already signed another right-back, Zachary Athekame, from Young Boys for 10 million euros, Milan remains interested in Stanišić to ensure adequate depth in that position. The club views Stanišić as a versatile option who can cover both the right-back and center-back roles, an important factor considering he was not a regular starter for Bayern last season, appearing in 21 matches primarily as a substitute. Additionally, his experience with the Croatian national team, having earned 24 caps, makes him an attractive prospect for Milan, who are eager to strengthen their defense alongside recent acquisition Luka Modrić.
