Ameen Al-Dakhil

Ameen Al-Dakhil of Stuttgart was born in Baghdad, Iraq on 6 March 2002 (age 24).

Ameen Al-Dakhil, born on 6 March 2002 (age 24), is a Belgian centre-back with Stuttgart. He remains at the developing end of his career, though already with experience in England and Germany rather than only academy promise.

His most productive league season came at Burnley in 2023-24, when he made 13 appearances and scored once. That is not a body of work to dress up too heavily, but it did give him senior minutes in a demanding setting.

Al-Dakhil is now with Stuttgart, where in 2025-26 he has made eight Bundesliga appearances without scoring. His current market value is around £3.5m, according to Transfermarkt.

At this stage, his career is that of an established young professional still trying to turn useful experience into a more settled role. Burnley gave him league exposure; Stuttgart is the next test.

Ameen Al-Dakhil has been used as a rotation central defender for Stuttgart in the Bundesliga, with eight appearances but only three starts. The split between starts and substitute outings points to a player on the edge of the first-choice group rather than a fixed starter, while zero goals and one yellow card keep the statistical profile low-key.

Al-Dakhil’s career path is still more about progression than volume in the available record. A Standard Liege trainee, he moved through Sint-Truiden and Burnley before reaching Stuttgart by the age of 24, which suggests steady upward movement through stronger leagues rather than a long-established spell at one club.

The transfer history shows a clear rise in valuation: Standard Liege to Sint-Truiden for €450,000, then an undisclosed move to Burnley, followed by a €7.6m switch to Stuttgart in 2024. His current listed market value of €4.00m is lower than that Stuttgart fee, so the next stage is about proving he can turn that investment into regular Bundesliga minutes.
