Career

societies

Waldschmidt began his career in 2001 at SSV Oranien Frohnhausen and then played for SSC Juno Burg before moving to TSG Wieseck in 2009. On July 1, 2010, he went to the Eintracht Frankfurt youth training center .

On April 25, 2014 Waldschmidt signed his first professional contract there with a term until June 30, 2017. He was promoted to the professional squad for the 2014/15 season , but should still be used in the U19. On April 25, 2015, he made his Bundesliga debut in the 2-0 defeat against Borussia Dortmund , where he came on for Sonny Kittel in the 73rd minute . Waldschmidt scored his first competitive goal on August 8, 2015 in a 3-0 win in the first round of the DFB Cup against Bremer SV .

For the 2016/17 season , Waldschmidt moved to Hamburger SV , where he signed a four-year contract. He made his Bundesliga debut for Hamburg in the 4-0 home defeat to RB Leipzig when he came on for Bobby Wood in the 83rd minute . He scored his first competitive goal for HSV on October 25, 2016 in a 4-0 win against Halleschen FC in the second round of the DFB Cup, a few seconds after being substituted on in the 82nd minute of the game. On the last match day of the season, Waldschmidt scored the 2-1 winner against direct rivals VfL Wolfsburg in the 87th minute - a good two minutes after being substituted on - and thus prevented HSV from having to play the relegation for the third time in four years. It was his first goal in the Bundesliga. In the following season , in which Waldschmidt scored a goal in 21 missions, he was relegated to the 2nd Bundesliga with HSV .

For the 2018/19 season, Waldschmidt switched to SC Freiburg by means of an exit clause . In his first season in Breisgau , he scored 9 goals in 30 league games. In the following season, the offensive player missed several season games due to injury after he had also been used more often on the wings and was able to contribute ten points scorer to the 8th place in the table in Freiburg. In both seasons Waldschmidt competed with Nils Petersen and was therefore often used as a substitute.

For the 2020/21 season, the striker moved to the Portuguese Primeira Liga to Benfica Lisbon for 15 million euros , where he played with his compatriot Julian Weigl . Waldschmidt signed a five-year contract that includes an exit clause of 88 million euros.
