Maxime Bernauer (born 1 July 1998, age 28) is a French central defender with Saint-Etienne, where he wears the number 6 shirt. His market value is around £1.5m, according to Transfermarkt.
The main body of Bernauer’s senior career was built at Paris FC. Across two seasons he made 65 league appearances and scored twice, giving him the sort of regular football that tends to matter more than tidy career summaries. His busiest league campaign came in 2021-22, when he played 30 times and scored once.
At Saint-Etienne in 2026-27, Bernauer has made six appearances across competitions: two in Ligue 2, one in the Coupe de France and three in the Ligue 1 play-offs. It is a smaller sample than his Paris FC spell, but it keeps the shape of his career clear enough.
Bernauer’s career to date is that of an established French defender whose strongest run came with Paris FC, followed by a continuing role at Saint-Etienne.
