David Raum (German pronunciation: [ˈdaːvɪt ˈʁaʊm]; born 22 April 1998) is a German professional footballer who plays as a left midfielder or left-back for Bundesliga club RB Leipzig, which he captains, and the Germany national team.[3]

Club career

[edit | edit source]

Greuther Fürth

[edit | edit source]

Raum was born in Nuremberg and started playing football at the local club Tuspo Nürnberg at the age of four. At the age of eight, he was scouted to the youth academy of SpVgg Greuther Fürth in the neighbouring town and progressed through their youth teams.[4]

As an under-19 footballer, Raum gained his first experience in the senior sides and was part of the first team from the 2017–18 2. Bundesliga season. In the first two rounds of the 2017–18 DFB-Pokal he scored in both games,[5] but did not make it to the final round with his team after a defeat against FC Ingolstadt. He also made 20 appearances in at second-highest German level and mainly played as a substitute in the following seasons. His contract, which was set to expire in June 2020,[6] was extended with an option for an additional year in May 2020.[7]

Hoffenheim

[edit | edit source]

After the 2020–21 season, in which Greuther Fürth won promotion to the Bundesliga, Raum moved to TSG Hoffenheim as a free agent, having signed a pre-contract with the club in January 2021. He signed a four-year contract with Die Kraichgauer.[8] On 11 December 2021, he scored his first Bundesliga goal in a 2–1 away win over Freiburg.[9]

RB Leipzig

[edit | edit source]

On 31 July 2022, he joined Bundesliga club RB Leipzig, on a five-year deal until 2027.[10] On 16 September 2023, he scored his first goal in a 3–0 win over Augsburg.[11] A month later, on 25 October, he scored his first Champions League goal in a 3–1 win over Red Star Belgrade.[12] On 14 August 2025, Raum was named as Leipzig's new club captain.[13]

International career

[edit | edit source]

Raum made a total of 11 international appearances at under-19 and under-20 levels.[14]

After debuting on 17 November 2020 in a 2–1 victory over Wales for the under-21 team,[14] under-21 national team coach Stefan Kuntz called up Raum for the squad for the 2021 UEFA European Under-21 Championship. He was utilised in all games, as Germany won the final 1–0 over Portugal.[15]

On 5 September 2021, Raum debuted with the senior Germany national team in a 6–0 2022 FIFA World Cup qualification victory over Armenia.[16] He was included in the squad for the 2022 FIFA World Cup, starting at left back in all three Group E matches. In the team's opening match against Japan, he was fouled by Shūichi Gonda to win a penalty kick that was converted by İlkay Gündoğan.[17] He also assisted Serge Gnabry's opening goal in the 4–2 win over Costa Rica.[18] He recorded the third-highest speed of the tournament behind Nico Williams of Spain and Kamaldeen Sulemana of Ghana, reaching 35.40km/h.[19]

In June 2024, Raum was named in Germany's squad for UEFA Euro 2024.[20] He made his tournament debut in the final Group A match against Switzerland, coming on as a substitute for Maximilian Mittelstädt in the 61st minute and assisting Niclas Füllkrug's equalising goal in the second minute of stoppage time.[21] He went on to start at left back in both the round of 16 match against Denmark and the quarter-final against Spain.[22] On 10 October 2025, he scored his first international goal from a free kick in a 4–0 win over Luxembourg during the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualification.[23]
