About the player
Maxime Bernauer's route to Saint-Étienne ran through Zagreb rather than a straight line up the French pyramid. Formed at Stade Rennais after starting out at Hennebont, Lorient and US Montagnarde, the centre-back found regular first-team football instead at Paris FC, where he made 66 appearances following his move there in July 2021.
There he built a trophy collection few French defenders his age can match: the Croatian league title in both 2022–23 and 2023–24, the Croatian Cup after Dinamo beat HNK Rijeka 3–1 on aggregate in the 2023–24 final, and the Croatian Super Cup in 2023.
That spell in Croatia set up his return to France. Saint-Étienne took him on loan in February 2025, with an option to buy, and made the move permanent that June for a fee of €1.2 million, tying him to Les Verts until 2027.
