Philipp Schulz is staying at Mainz! The 19-year-old centre back has signed an extension on his professional contract, with the deal now valid until 2027. Schulz has played for Mainz 05 since the U8s and was part of U19 team that won the German title in 2023. Additionally, the defender has played for Germany at all age groups up until the U19s.
Schulz also gained valuable international experience with the U19s in last season’s UEFA Youth League. The defender, who regularly trains with the first team and has also been part of a training camp, has played a number of games for the U23s this season.
“A real Mainz academy product”
Sporting director Niko Bungert commented: “Philipp is a real Mainz academy product, who, with lots of talent, ambition and hard work, has made it from the U8s all the way to training with the first team via all of the club’s youth sides. Philipp has taken another step in the right direction regarding his development this year with the U23s, which is why we wanted to give him the chance to continue working his way towards playing professional football for us.”
