Stanković made his debut in the Inter Milan first team match day squad, being named on the substitute bench for Inter on 1 October 2022, for a Serie A match against Roma at the San Siro.[1][2] He was part of the match day squad, but an unused substitute, as Inter won the 2022–23 Coppa Italia title with a 2- 1 victory over Fiorentina.[3]
In February 2020, Stanković was called up to the Serbia U15 squad.[4] Stanković represented Serbia Under 16 and Serbia U17, and captained the youth team for the first time in May 2021.[5] He captained the Serbian team that reached the semi-finals of the 2022 UEFA European Under-17 Championship.[6] In September 2022, he was called up for the first time, and played as captain, for the Serbia U18 national team in a 1–0 defeat against Italy U18.[7][8] Against the same opponent four days later, he scored the first goal in a 2–1 win for his country.[9]
Whilst he was captaining the Serbia U17 team to the semi-finals of the 2022 UEFA European Under-17 Championship, Stanković was described by the UEFA website as having set-piece delivery that would “be a menace to any opponent” and a “blend of finesse and fight in midfield [which] makes it clear why he wears the captain's armband.”[10]
His brother Filip played as a goalkeeper for Volendam, on loan from Inter Milan. They are both sons of former Inter and Serbian international footballer Dejan Stanković.[11] His mother Ana is Slovenian, and the family spend a lot of time in Ljubljana. His maternal uncle is a Slovenian former professional footballer Milenko Ačimovič.[12]
