Suat Serdar (born 11 April 1997) is a German professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for and captains Serie A club Hellas Verona.

Club career

Mainz

Serdar made his Bundesliga debut on 18 September 2015 against TSG Hoffenheim replacing Yunus Mallı after 88 minutes in a 3–1 home win.[3]

Schalke 04

On 17 May 2018, it was announced that Serdar would be joining Schalke 04 on a four-year contract.[4] Many people consider that Serdar was Schalke's best player during the 2019/20 season.[5]

Hertha BSC

On 15 June 2021, Serdar signed a five-year contract with Hertha BSC.[6] He made his debut in the DFB-Pokal first round against SV Meppen, as Hertha advanced following a late goal in a 1–0 victory.[7] His league debut followed on 15 August in a 3–1 loss away against FC Köln.[8] He tested positive for SARS‑CoV‑2 amid its pandemic.[9]

Hellas Verona

On 22 August 2023, Serdar was loaned with an option to buy to Hellas Verona, where he played 26 games and gave two assists. He was a key player in Hellas' midfield, helping them to avoid relegation with a match to spare and securing top flight football for the sixth time in a row. After the end of the season, the Scaligeri decided to trigger the buy option and sign him on a permanent transfer for the term of four years.[10]

International career

Born in Germany, Serdar is of Turkish descent.[11] He represented Germany at the U16, 17, 18, 19 and 20 levels.[12]

He made his Germany national team debut on 9 October 2019 in a friendly against Argentina. He replaced Serge Gnabry in the 72nd minute.[13]
