Career

societies

Koray Günter started playing football in the F-Jugend of SV Höxter in 2001 . As an old year in the D-Jugend, he switched to SpVg Brakel in 2006 . At a tournament of the Westphalia selection in 2008, he was discovered by a scout from Borussia Dortmund , who brought him to BVB after the tournament. As a 13-year-old, Günter moved into Dortmund's youth boarding school as the youngest player to date. The former offensive player was retrained to become a central defender and played games for the A-Juniors of BVB within a total of four seasons, including both seasons for the B-Juniors. In November 2011 he was voted Sportsman of the Year for the city of Höxter .

In the summer of 2012 he made the leap into the squad of the second team that had been promoted to the third division . On August 28, 2012, the 7th matchday of the 2012/13 season , he made his debut in professional football when he was in the starting line-up in the home game against Karlsruher SC (0: 3). The preparation for the 2012/13 season he completed due to the many missing national players due to the European Championship among the professionals, in whose squad he was on November 27, 2012 in the home game against Fortuna Düsseldorf for the first time. However, it was not used.

Günter moved to the traditional Turkish club Galatasaray Istanbul on January 30, 2014 for a transfer fee of 2.5 million euros . His contract ran until summer 2018; Borussia Dortmund had a repurchase right for him for the 2015/16 season for a transfer fee of seven million euros. He made his debut for his new club in the cup match on February 5, 2014 against third division side Tokatspor . The next season Günter won the Turkish double ( league , cup ) with Gala . Günter's contract with Galatasaray expired at the end of the 2017/18 season and was not extended.

On July 12, 2018, his move to Serie A to CFC Genoa was officially announced. He was loaned to Hellas Verona for the 2019/20 season.

National team

After Günter had played four times for the Turkish U16 national team, he decided to play for the DFB national team in the future. He made his debut game for the German U17 national team on September 4, 2010 at the international match against Azerbaijan in Stadthagen . In 2011 he was only runner-up at the U17 European Football Championship in Serbia and a month later he was third with the U17 at the U17 World Football Championship in Mexico . At the World Cup he scored a goal in the group game against Burkina Faso, as well as in the round of 16 against the USA (4-0) and in the game for third place against Brazil (4: 3). On April 17, 2012 he made his international debut for the U19 national team in the 0-0 draw against the Czech Republic. On September 6, 2013 Günter played for the first time for the U20 national team , which defeated Poland 2-0 in Pfullendorf as part of an "international game round" (with Italy, Poland and Switzerland).

Günter first attended the König-Wilhelm-Gymnasium Höxter and then the Leibniz-Gymnasium in Dortmund .
