Aleksandar Stanković (footballer, born 2005)

Aleksandar Stanković (Александар Станковић, ; born 3 August 2005) is a Serbian professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Swiss Super League club Luzern, on loan from Serie A club Inter Milan. He is a son of former Inter Milan and Serbian international footballer Dejan Stanković.

Inter Milan
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. 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.

Loan to Luzern
On 3 July 2024, Stanković joined Swiss Super League club Luzern on a season-long loan, with an option to buy and a buyback clause in favour of Inter.

International career
In February 2020, Stanković was called up to the Serbia U15 squad. Stanković represented Serbia Under 16 and Serbia U17, and captained the youth team for the first time in May 2021. He captained the Serbian team that reached the semi-finals of the 2022 UEFA European Under-17 Championship. 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. Against the same opponent four days later, he scored the first goal in a 2–1 win for his country.

Style of play
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.”

Personal life
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. 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.
