Finn Jeltsch, born 17 July 2006 (age 20), is a German central defender with Stuttgart, where he wears squad number 29. His current market value is around £21.5m, according to Transfermarkt.
His early senior football included a productive 2024-25 league season at Nuremberg, where he scored once in 18 appearances. That gave him a proper foothold rather than just a line on a youth CV.
The main body of his career so far has come at Stuttgart. Across three seasons he has made 39 league appearances, a fair amount of football for a young centre-half still working through the less forgiving parts of the job. In 2026-27, he has made four Bundesliga appearances and one in the Champions League.
Jeltsch remains a developing defender, but his career is already shaped more by Stuttgart than by anywhere else. At 20, he has established himself as a first-team player at a decent level, with the next stage depending on how firmly he holds that place.
