Born on the 18th of March 1997, Maximilian Mittelstädt is a German defender who currently brings his talents to bear on the Stuttgart team. Standing proud at 1.78m (approximately 5ft 10in) tall, and cutting a healthy figure at 69kg (around 10st 12lb), Mittelstädt cuts a commanding figure on the pitch. A favoured left back, he seems most at home in the number 7 jersey. The audiences in Stuttgart are not the only ones to bear witness to Mittelstädt's prowess, as he has had the honour of representing the German national team.
The current market value of this formidable player is around £15.4m, as stated by Transfermarkt.
July, 2014 marked a milestone in Mittelstädt's career as he joined Hertha BSC in Germany's 2. Bundesliga. His first season in 2015-2016 saw him make three first team appearances in league matches. The seasons that followed depicted the gradual and steady rise of a future star, starting from 12 appearances in 2016-2017, growing to 11 in 2017-2018 and peaking at 25 appearances with one successful goal attempt in 2018-2019. The high number of appearances continued for the next three seasons with more successful attempts on goal, ending with 17 in 2022-2023.
In a surprising move, Mittelstädt left his comfortable position with Hertha BSC for pastures new with Stuttgart in the Bundesliga, costing the club around £690k in July 2023. His influence over the game has been clear, with 31 appearances in both his 2023-2024 and 2024-2025 seasons, scoring a total of three goals. The current season persists this streak of influence, with 21 appearances and a tally of three goals.
Alongside his league duties, Mittelstädt's boots have stepped on international pitches for the World Cup Qualifiers Europe 2024-2026 with a single start for Germany. His tenure at Stuttgart also saw him start for the club in the DFL-Supercup 2024-2025 and the Europa League 2025-2026, in which he managed to score once in his eight starts.
