Club career

Born in Arilje, Stevanović grew up in Arilje, making his first footballing steps at local club Vranić. He later joined the youth system of Partizan after being scouted by Dušan Trbojević.[1]

On 9 December 2018, Stevanović made his official senior debut for Partizan in a 3–0 away league victory over Rad, coming on as an 82nd-minute substitute for Đorđe Ivanović.[2] He made three more league appearances through the remainder of the season.

On 1 August 2019, Stevanović scored his first goal for Partizan after coming off the bench in the return leg of the 2019–20 UEFA Europa League second qualifying round, a 3–0 home win versus Welsh side Connah's Quay Nomads.[3] He thus became their youngest ever scorer in UEFA competitions and the second youngest in club history, at 16 years and 311 days old.[4] Three days later, Stevanović netted his first league goal for Partizan, opening the scoring in an eventual 4–0 home victory over Mačva Šabac.[5] He subsequently contributed with a brace in a 3–0 home win versus Rad on 18 August.[6]

In October 2020, it was announced that Stevanović had agreed to join Manchester City in the following January.[7]

International career

Stevanović made his debut for the Serbia national under-19 football team in the 2020 UEFA European Under-19 Championship qualification.
