Maxime Bernauer, born on 1 July 1998 (age 28), is a French central defender with Saint-Etienne, where he wears the No 6 shirt. His market value is around £1.5m, according to Transfermarkt.
Bernauer’s most productive league season came with Paris FC in 2021-22, when he made 30 appearances and scored once. For a centre-back, that is less a scoring surge than a sign of regular football, which tends to matter more in his line of work.
At Saint-Etienne, his 2026-27 campaign has brought 11 appearances in all competitions, including seven in Ligue 2, three in the Ligue 1 play-offs and one in the Coupe de France. He has scored once in the league.
His career to this point has been built in France, moving from a solid spell at Paris FC into regular involvement at Saint-Etienne. It is a tidy, professional profile rather than one demanding grand claims.
