BRUNNER

Born on February 15, 2006 in Germany, Paris Brunner learned his trade at the academies of Rot-Weiss Essen and VfL Bochum before completing his training at Borussia Dortmund. The young striker quickly made his mark in the U17 Bundesliga, scoring 16 goals in just five league appearances. He was naturally upgraded with the U19s at the age of 16 and proved just as decisive, as evidenced by his 21 goals and 8 assists in 25 games in 2023-2024. At the international level, the right-footed striker proved himself in the last two editions of the UEFA Youth League, and revealed himself with the Mannschaft, the German national team, first with the U16s, then with the U17s. In this category, Paris Brunner excels (16 goals in 21 matches), finishing the year 2023 as European champion (co-top scorer) and World champion (best player), overcoming in the final, each time, the French team of Saïmon Bouabré and Joan Tincres. He joined AS Monaco in August 2024, before being loaned to Cercle Bruges for a season.
