Luca Jaquez, born on the 2nd of June 2003, is a Swiss professional footballer who prominently features on the field as a central defender. Originating from Switzerland, this talented defender, who stands at 6ft 1in (1.87m) tall and weighs about 12st 8lb (80kg), currently plays for Stuttgart while wearing the number 14 jersey. His football prowess isn't just showcased at club level; he has also earned his stripes representing the Switzerland national team.
Jaquez's waking life at Stuttgart does not overshadow his billing in the global transfer market. Currently, he is estimated to have a market value of around £8.5 million, as stated by Transfermarkt.
Tracing back his career steps, in August 2013, Jaquez made a crucial step in his profession when he joined the Swiss Super League team – Luzern, doubling up as a trainee. This marked his official advent in professional football. Since then, Jaquez has been on a steady career trajectory, clocking important milestones and improving his game progressively. From his debut season at Luzern (2021 - 2022), where he appeared only once in first-team league matches, to the season 2022 - 2023, where he made ten appearances, Jaquez was steadily finding his footing. This momentum continued in subsequent seasons, with Jaquez making 30 and 19 appearances, and netting three goals in the 2023 - 2024 and 2024 - 2025 seasons, respectively.
In what could be considered as the evident testament of his blooming career, in February 2025, Jaquez made a significant transfer from Luzern to Stuttgart, a renowned team in the German Bundesliga. This transfer did come at a cost, approximately £4.6 million, alluding to the trust bestowed upon him by Stuttgart's management. Since his transfer, Jaquez has made a modest 11 first team appearances in league matches at Stuttgart, as of the current 2025 - 2026 season, only furthering his career growth.
Apart from his league appearances, Jaquez has also graced some of the world's renowned football tournaments. This includes the World Cup Qualifiers Europe 2024 - 2026, featuring for Switzerland. He also featured for Stuttgart in the Europa League 2025 - 2026, and the DFL-Supercup, executing two starts with an additional three appearances as a substitute.
