Club career

He rose to prominence in the footballing world after scoring sixteen goals in only five Under 17 Bundesliga appearances. [4] [5] [6] He was promoted to the under-19 side at the age of sixteen, scoring on his debut against Bonner SC in the Under 19 Bundesliga. [5] These goal-scoring feats earned him comparisons to teammate Youssoufa Moukoko, who was similarly prolific at youth level. [5] [7]

On 11 October 2023, he was named by English newspaper The Guardian as one of the best players born in 2006 worldwide. [8] A week later, Borussia Dortmund indefinitely suspended Brunner for undisclosed disciplinary reasons. [9]

On 16 August 2024, Brunner signed for Ligue 1 club Monaco, then immediately went on loan to Belgian Pro League club Cercle Brugge. [10]

Brunner scored his first senior goal for Cercle Brugge on 19 December, matchday 6 of the UEFA Conference League, in a 1–1 draw against Başakşehir. The late equaliser helped his team qualify directly for the round of 16 by finishing eighth in the league phase.

International career

Brunner has represented Germany at youth international level. [11] He is also eligible to represent the Democratic Republic of the Congo, through his mother. [1]

Youth

During the 2023 UEFA European Under-17 Championship, he scored the equalizer for 10-man Germany team against Switzerland in the quarter-final match which ended in a 3–2 win on penalties, securing a place in the FIFA U-17 World Cup. [12] He later managed to win the competition with his country after beating France in the final 4–3 on penalties. He was also voted player of the tournament, in addition to being the joint top scorer with four goals. [13]

At the end of the same year, Brunner took part at the 2023 FIFA U-17 World Cup, representing Germany.
