Suat Serdar (born 11 April 1997) is a German professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for and captains Serie B club Hellas Verona.

Club career

Mainz

Serdar made his Bundesliga debut on 18 September 2015 against TSG Hoffenheim replacing Yunus Mallı after 88 minutes in a 3–1 home win.

Schalke 04

On 17 May 2018, it was announced that Serdar would be joining Schalke 04 on a four-year contract. Many people consider that Serdar was Schalke's best player during the 2019/20 season.

Hertha BSC

On 15 June 2021, Serdar signed a five-year contract with Hertha BSC. He made his debut in the DFB-Pokal first round against SV Meppen, as Hertha advanced following a late goal in a 1–0 victory. His league debut followed on 15 August in a 3–1 loss away against FC Köln. He tested positive for SARS‑CoV‑2 amid its pandemic.

Hellas Verona

On 22 August 2023, Serdar was loaned with an option to buy to Hellas Verona, where he played 26 games and gave two assists. He was a key player in Hellas' midfield, helping them to avoid relegation with a match to spare and securing top flight football for the sixth time in a row. After the end of the season, the Scaligeri decided to trigger the buy option and sign him on a permanent transfer for the term of four years.

International career

Born in Germany, Serdar is of Turkish descent. He represented Germany at the U16, 17, 18, 19 and 20 levels.

He made his Germany national team debut on 9 October 2019 in a friendly against Argentina. He replaced Serge Gnabry in the 72nd minute.
