Paulina Krumbiegel signs for Eintracht

Born in Mannheim, Paulina Krumbiegel has both international experience and genuine versatility. She is comfortable with both feet and happy to play in central midfield as well as on the flanks. She played her youth football with TSG Hoffenheim, working her way through the junior teams from the U17s upwards and making her top-flight debut in the 2019/20 season. She featured in 76 games for Hoffenheim in the Bundesliga and DFB Cup combined, with 20 goal involvements (10 goals, 10 assists).

Success in Turin and for Germany

In summer 2024, she made the move to Juventus and established herself in her first season over in Italy, making 24 appearances in Serie A (three goals, four assists), four in the Coppa Italia and seven in the UEFA Women’s Champions League. She continued to develop at the highest level and was part of a league-and-cup double-winning team in her first season with Juve. This term, Krumbiegel has amassed 33 appearances (five goals) for the Bianconeri. 

She has also been making a name for herself at international level with Germany. After 31 caps (17 goals) at youth level, she has now played 11 times for the senior side, finding the back of the net on four occasions.

“Paulina’s profile is one that we find incredibly exciting,” said sporting director Babett Peter. “She has a very ambitious and driven personality and she’s hungry for success. We’re convinced that she will be able to help us immediately with her skills and her experience and at the same time, she has the potential to develop further.” 

“Eintracht is a very attractive club for me with a great fan base and genuine ambition, both domestically and in Europe,” said Krumbiegel. “The club has really come on in recent years and I want to contribute to us taking the next step together and winning a first trophy with Eintracht in the years to come. I’m really looking forward to my time there, to meeting the team and getting settled in as soon as possible and making an impact.”
