Christoph Baumgartner’s senior career has been shaped above all by his time at 1899 Hoffenheim. Across five seasons there he made 121 league appearances and scored 27 league goals, enough to make that spell the clear centre of his career rather than a stepping stone.
At RB Leipzig, he found his most productive league campaign in 2025–2026, scoring 13 goals in 33 appearances. That was a sharp return from an attacking midfielder whose game has always carried a useful scoring threat without needing much theatre around it.
His current market value is around £15.5m, according to Transfermarkt. Hoffenheim remains the substantial body of work, with Leipzig adding a stronger goalscoring season to the later part of his career.
