Club career

Cerci started playing football at SV Friedrichsort and moved to Holstein Kiel's B youth team as a 14-year-old. In January 2016 she made the move to the B youth team of Magdeburger FFC, for whom she scored 23 goals in 15 games in the B junior Bundesliga, in the Nordost season.

Signed by Bayern Munich, she played all league games for their second team in the 2017–18 season in the then two-tier 2. Bundesliga and finished the South Group with her team in second place - two points behind TSG 1899 Hoffenheim, the champions. She made her senior debut on 3 September 2017 (1st matchday) in a 1–0 win in the home game against newcomers SG 99 Andernach. She scored her first of 14 goals on matchday 2 in a 2–0 win in the away game against SC Freiburg II.

She made her Bundesliga debut on 25 November 2018 (9th matchday) for Werder Bremen, the club that signed her for the 2018–19 season, in the 4–1 defeat in the away game against Bayern Munich. She scored five goals in her 13 league games, including the 2–0 in the 53rd minute and the final score in the 89th minute in the 5–0 win in the home game against Borussia Mönchengladbach on 9 December 2018 (12th matchday). However, their team was unable to prevent relegation to the now single-track 2. Bundesliga.

For the 2020–21 season she was signed by Bundesliga club 1. FFC Turbine Potsdam and was her team's most successful goalscorer with 8 goals in her first season. [2] [3]  She was leading the Bundesliga top scorers list with 13 goals in the 2021–22 season when she suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury on matchday 15. [4] By the end of the season she was unable to play any more games and was overtaken in the top scorer list by Lea Schüller, who scored 16 goals in 22 games. For the following 2022–23 season, the move to league rivals 1. FC Köln was announced at the end of June 2022. [5]

In May 2024, Cerci was signed by TSG Hoffenheim. [6]

International career

On 8 February 2022, Cerci was nominated for the senior national team for the first time. [7] She made her international debut for Germany in the 2022 Arnold Clark Cup on 17 February 2022, coming on as a substitute in the 78th minute for Jule Brand against Spain. The match finished as a 1–1 draw. [8]

Due to a cruciate ligament injury, Cerci missed the Euro 2022. [9]
