Sead Kolašinac

Sead Kolašinac is a Bosnia and Herzegovina defender born in Karlsruhe, Germany, who plays primarily on the left side of defence. He began his youth development at Karlsruher SC before progressing through TSG Hoffenheim and VfB Stuttgart, then joining Schalke 04 in 2011. Kolašinac signed his first professional contract with Schalke in 2012, made his senior debut that year and gained Champions League experience as a teenager.

He later returned to Schalke on loan before continuing his career with Marseille. Kolašinac joined Atalanta in 2023 and has since contributed as a left-sided centre-back in Gian Piero Gasperini’s back three, combining physical defending with build-up play.
