Club career
Stanković grew up in the youth academy of Red Star Belgrade. In October 2020, he was loaned for two months to Grafičar Beograd,[3] where he made his professional football debut on 12 October 2020 in a 0–0 draw against Kolubara in the Serbian First League. He scored his first goal nine days later in Serbian Cup against Voždovac. The loan was renewed again in February,[4] and later also for the first half of the following season.
He returned to Red Star Belgrade in January 2022[5][6], on 12 February he made his debut for the red and white club in the 3-0 Serbian SuperLiga victory against Čukarički[7] and on 11 May he scored a brace in the convincing 8-0 victory over Novi Pazar in the Serbian Cup.[8] At the end of the season he extended his contract until 2025.[9]
In January 2023 he was loaned to Napredak Kruševac to play more consistently.[10] However, in the following summer transfer window he was purchased outright by Čukarički.[11]
On 28 July 2025, Red Star Belgrade announced that had reached an agreement with Stanković on a four-year deal.[12]
