When you’re a highly touted prospect, you’re bound to move from club to bigger club. At the age of eight years, Sead Kolasinac started his football career at boyhood club Karlsruher SC and after having spent eight years at the club he moved onto Bundesliga side, TSG 1899 Hoffenheim.

However, after only one season at Hoffenheim, he moved onto greener pastures at VfB Stuttgart. His stay at Stuttgart, though, was also short-lived as he moved to Schalke half a year later where he finally settled down.
