Early career

A long-term academy product of Strasbourg, Clauss spent years in the lower divisions of France and Germany before signing a contract with Quevilly-Rouen in the Ligue 2 for the 2017–18 season.[4] He made his professional debut for the club in a 3–2 loss to Châteauroux on 8 September 2017, in which he assisted one of his side's goals.[5]

Arminia Bielefeld

[edit | edit source]

In August 2018, free agent Clauss joined 2. Bundesliga side Arminia Bielefeld after trialling with the side.[6]

In May 2020, L'Équipe reported Clauss would be leaving Bielefeld upon expiration of his contract in the summer and return to France having agreed a three-year contract with Lens, newly promoted to Ligue 1.[7] At the age of 28, he made the first top-flight appearance of his career. At the end of the 2020–21 season, he was included in the Ligue 1 Team of the Year by the Union Nationale des Footballeurs Professionnels (UNFP).[8]

Marseille

[edit | edit source]

On 20 July 2022, Clauss signed with fellow Ligue 1 side Marseille. The transfer fee to be paid to Lens was €9 million.[9]

On 25 July 2024, Clauss signed for Nice for €5 million plus €1 million in potential bonuses.[10]

International career

[edit | edit source]

In March 2022, at the age of 29, Clauss received his first call-up to the France national team when manager Didier Deschamps selected him for friendly matches against Ivory Coast and South Africa.[11] He made his debut on 25 March in a 2–1 victory over the former side.[12]

On 18 November 2023, Clauss scored his first goal with France in a 14–0 win over Gibraltar, the largest victory in the nation's history.[13]
