Club career

[edit]

In June 2019, Krauß signed his first professional contract with RB Leipzig until June 30, 2021,[3] which was extended a year later to June 2025.[4] On 27 June 2020, he made his Bundesliga debut for RB Leipzig under coach Julian Nagelsmann, coming on as a substitute in the 87th minute, in a 2–1 away win against Augsburg on the last matchday of the 2019–20 season, to become the first native of Leipzig to make his professional debut with the club.[5] He later joined 1. FC Nürnberg on a two-year loan basis, to follow newly appointed coach Robert Klauß who had managed RB Leipzig youth teams.[6]

On 10 June 2022, Schalke 04 announced the signing of Krauß on loan from RB Leipzig with an obligation to buy for €3 million if Schalke avoid relegation in the 2022–23 season.[7][8] On 2 October, he scored his first Bundesliga goal for Schalke 04 in a 3–2 home defeat against Augsburg.[9]

On 14 July 2023, he joined Mainz 05 on a long-term contract.[5][10]

On 22 August 2024, Krauß joined EFL Championship club Luton Town on a season-long loan deal.[11]
