My Take

What I find compelling about Moritz Leitner is the sheer breadth of his journeyman career. Dortmund's academy, then 1860 Munich, Augsburg, Lazio, Norwich and Zurich, this is a midfielder who has lived football across Germany, Italy, England and Switzerland. He was even capped at youth level by both Germany and Austria, which hints at a player whose identity never sat neatly in one box. He was never a flashy goalscorer, but I have a soft spot for the quiet metronomes who keep a team ticking. Players like Leitner rarely top the highlight reels, yet good coaches keep finding reasons to want them around. That, to me, is a real career.
