Atakan Karazor
Atakan Karazor is a German defender from Essen, born on 13 October 1996. He developed with Schwarz-Weiß Essen before joining VfL Bochum’s academy in 2012 and moving to Borussia Dortmund II in 2015. Karazor made 59 appearances for Dortmund’s reserves in the Regionalliga West, then transferred to Holstein Kiel in 2017. During two seasons in the 2. Bundesliga, he developed into a deeper midfielder who could combine ball-winning with distribution. VfB Stuttgart signed him in 2019, and he played 23 matches in his first season as the club secured promotion to the Bundesliga. At Stuttgart, Karazor evolved into a defensive midfield anchor, contributing cover in front of the back four and supporting build-up play. Named club captain in 2024, he later lifted the DFB-Pokal in 2025, while also choosing to represent Türkiye internationally.
