The 2024-25 German Bundesliga will return on August 23, 2024, with defending Champions Bayer Leverkusen up against Borussia Monchengladbach.
It promises to be another exciting campaign with players set to jostle for individual and club honors. The last campaign saw the likes of Harry Kane, Serhou Guirassy, Victor Boniface, Florian Wirtz, and several others shining bright for their different teams.
Can they continue their top-level performance in the next campaign? Follow us as we take a look at ten players to watch out for in the 2024-25 German Bundesliga season
Harry Kane
Harry Kane is 31 years old but is showing no signs of slowing down on his goal-scoring heroics. The England captain took the German top flight by storm on his debut campaign last season, scoring a record 36 goals in 32 league matches plus eight assists.
With the 2024-25 season fast approaching, it is not a question of whether Harry Kane will light up the German Bundesliga again but how many records he will break again. He is one of the top players to watch out for.
Victor Boniface
Nigeria international Victor Boniface is another hot shot to watch out for in the 2024-25 Bundesliga season. The 23-year-old got off the mark for Bayer Leverkusen with his best career performance last season.
He won the Bundesliga Player of the Month four times in a row with his brilliant showing for the Die Werkself. Late into the season, he was grounded with injury but his 24 goal contributions in 23 matches was a page-turner for a Bundesliga debutant.
Serhou Guirassy
At the start of the 2023-24 Bundesliga campaign, Serhou Guirassy stole the spotlight for his unrivalled goal-scoring spree for Vfb Stuttgart. He was tipped to battle for the Bundesliga Golden Boot award following an insane goal-scoring prowess.
While he was capitulated in the run-in, the Guinea international still proved his mettle and class with 28 Bundesliga goals in 28 matches. Now set for a new chapter with Borussia Dortmund, Guirassy is definitely among the top-level footballers to watch out for next season.
Florian Wirtz
Emerging from the clutches of a nightmare hamstring injury, Florian Wirtz reached the peak of his career last season. The German international was integral to Bayer Leverkusen’s historic Bundesliga triumph with 22 goal contributions – his career-best league tally in a single season.
His most notable performance was a stunning hat-trick against Augsburg in the Bundesliga final matchday which saw him wrap up the campaign with the Bundesliga Player of The Season Award. As Bayer Leverkusen prepare to defend the Meisterschale, Wirtz will be a cynosure of all eyes.
Xavi Simons
From a pariah at PSG to a Bundesliga sensation, Xavi Simons has definitely rewritten the narrative in his career. The Dutch attacking midfielder stole the spotlight last season with his standout performances for RB Leipzig.
He recorded 19 goal contributions, comprising 8 goals with 11 assists. Having renewed his loan deal, another rollercoaster run with the Red Bulls awaits in the upcoming campaign.
Jamal Musiala
Despite Bayern Munich’s trophyless campaign last season, Jamal Musiala was exciting to watch. The English-German footballer thrilled fans with his top-level performances for the Bundesliga outfit.
Since his 2020-21 breakout campaign with the Bundesliga giants, Musiala recorded his best career tally last season, scoring ten goals with six assists. The sensational forward is another top player to watch out for in the 2024-25 German Bundesliga campaign.
Lois Openda
Former Lens sensational footballer Lois Openda is another top player to watch out for in the 2024-25 German Bundesliga campaign. Openda roared to a magical finish in the German top flight last season. He scored 24 goals with seven assists to cap a prolific debut campaign with RB Leipzig and will hope to hit the same stellar benchmark in the next campaign.
Alex Grimaldo
Bundesliga fans could not had enough of Alex Grimaldo in the last campaign. The Spanish midfield sensation proved crucial in Bayer Leverkusen’s Bundesliga triumph with goals and assists. He scored 10 goals with 13 assists in 33 Bundesliga matches to record his highest goal contributions in a single season. The 28-year-old is among elite-level footballers to watch out for in the next campaign.
Benjamin Sesko
Radece-born Slovenian footballer Benjamin Sesko is another top talent to watch out for next season in the Bundesliga. The 21-year-old former Salzburg forward finished strongly on his Bundesliga debut campaign with RB Leipzig last season. He struck 14 times, providing 2 assists to cap a brilliant debut run with the Bundesliga outfit
Maximilian Beier
German young forward Maximilian Beier breathed life back into his career with Hoffenheim last season. The 21-year-old scored 16 times in 33 Bundesliga matches for Hoffenheim, providing two assists.
