Another report has claimed that AC Milan are interested in signing Petar Stanic from Ludogorets Razgrad in the summer.
Calciomercato.com report that Massimiliano Allegri has asked for players that are ready to contribute immediately, but the vision of the ownership and the need to look to the future means that some young talents could arrive soon. One of those could be Petar Stanic, as Mediaset first reported.
Milan scouting Stanic
Stanic was born in Serbia on 14 August 2001 in Pancevo, an important city in the country half an hour’s drive from Belgrade and in a climate that was anything but easy to manage. Only two years earlier, in 1999, it had been devastated by war and NATO bombings of the important refinery in the area.
Stanic has a Croatian passport and, in the early stages of his football career, literally traveled all over Serbia. After making his debut with Dinamo Pancevo, he moved to rivals Zeleznicar Pancevo. Red Star Belgrade then believed in him and signed him, but after just a year, he went on loan to Spartak Subotica before being acquired by FK Backa Topola.
The Balkan tour concluded in the summer of 2025 when Ludogorets in Bulgaria invested €1.8m euros to sign him until 30 June 2028, strongly believing that he was a talent ready to take off. With them, he is developing into more of an attacking midfielder.
Standing at 1.86m tall, he has a keen eye for goal and impressive timing when running into the box. Some in Serbia have compared him to the early Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who later became a striker, but the report compares him more to his compatriot Sergej Milinkovic-Savic,.
This season, under the command of Norwegian Per-Mathias Hogmo, he has 14 goals and nine assists. It’s in the Europa League that his performances have attracted the attention of top clubs: with seven goals in 10 games, he is currently the competition’s top scorer, tied with Nottingham Forest’s Igor Jesus.

Among the clubs following him closely are AC Milan, who have sent scouts to see him live on several occasions, as was the case during Ludogorets’ victory against CSKA Sofia, in which he once again scored.
The Bulgarian club considers him a rare gem and, if he is sold, aims to complete the most expensive sale in their history. The price is obviously within Milan’s reach, given that the asking price, at least for now, doesn’t exceed €10m.
I promise you Max hasn’t asked for this player either. This management is in such disarray – everyone doing their own thing. Moncada working Andre. Tare, most likely, looking at this kid…. I don’t even know who’s in charge of finding a 9 – probably Furlani…
Too many cooks in the w8orehouse.
This kid is pretty damn good, a bit like Szobo, who we should also have signed if the little maniac sitting at the top, Furlani needs to go, he simply doesn’t have the experience to run a club like Milan, all the good work Ivan Gazidis did has been undone by that little Napoleon.
I agree, he looks quite good and Milan could probably get him for 10M€. Also Furlanis shouldd go but he should take Tare with him as well.
