Leo Sauer

Leo Sauer of Feyenoord was born in Bratislava, Slovakia on 16 December 2005 (age 19).

Leo Sauer, born on 16 December 2005 which makes him 19-years-old current day, hails from Slovakia. His exceptional skill on the football pitch is best expressed in his role as a forward, though his exemplary performances are often seen when playing as a left winger for Feyenoord. The man stands at a height of about 6ft (1.84m) and carries a weight around 11st 2lb (71kg). He is commonly seen wearing the number 16 jersey. Besides his club commitments, Sauer also serves with pride in the national kit, to represent Slovakia on an international stage.

As per the data available on Transfermarkt, his current market value is estimated around £6m.

Sauer began his professional career in July 2018 with MŠK Žilina, competing in the First Football League in Slovakia. However, his journey witnessed a crucial milestone in July 2022 when he was transferred on loan to Feyenoord in the Eredivisie, Netherlands. During his debut season in 2023-2024, he managed to make 13 first-team appearances and found the back of the net twice in league matches.

In some respects, a slightly unusual start by professional football standards, Sauer moved permanently from MŠK Žilina to Feyenoord after his initial loan period, for about £200k in July 2023. As he continued his journey at Feyenoord, indicating a promising start, he has made 12 first team appearances and scored one goal in the current season (2025-2026).

His career took another twist when he was loaned out to NAC Breda, also in the Eredivisie, Netherlands, in August 2024. Here he managed to gain a considerable amount of experience, realizing 31 first-team appearances and netting seven goals over the course of the season 2024-2025.

However, by June 2025 he returned to his parent club, Feyenoord, post the completion of his loan spell with NAC Breda. As it stands for the current season (2025-2026), he has to his name 12 first team appearances, scoring a single goal.

On a more international note, Sauer has had the privilege to represent Feyenoord in the Champions League (2023-2024), making two substitute appearances, and the Europa League (2025-2026), commencing twice and coming on as a substitute on two more occasions. He also got called upon for the UEFA U21 qualifiers in 2025 where he started twice and made one substitute appearance for Slovakia, and was subsequently named for the Champions League qualifiers (2025-2026) wherein he managed two starts for Feyenoord.
