Luca Jaquez, born on 2 June 2003 (age 23), is a Swiss central defender now with Stuttgart, where he wears number 14. His current market value is around £8.5m, according to Transfermarkt.
Luzern still does most of the heavy lifting in his career story. Across four seasons there, Jaquez made 60 league appearances and scored three goals, with his most productive campaign coming in 2024-2025, when he scored three times in 19 league matches. For a developing defender, that was a useful body of work rather than a footnote.
He is now trying to turn that Swiss grounding into a settled place at Stuttgart. In 2025-2026, he has made 14 Bundesliga appearances, along with one in the DFL-Supercup and eight in the Europa League, taking him to 23 appearances in all competitions for the club without a goal.
Jaquez has also been involved with Switzerland this season, making one appearance in European World Cup qualifying. His career remains centred on what he built at Luzern, but Stuttgart is now the test of whether that first-team relevance carries into a stronger league.
