Grasshopper club-trained players

We can verify 7 club-trained players in the Grasshopper squad: Simone Stroscio, Giotto Morandi, Tim Meyer, Allan Arigoni, Denis Sahin, Samuel Marques and Dominik Papic. Between them they have played 16% of Grasshopper's league minutes in 2026/27. 9 other squad players are not verifiable on our record.

On the record we can verify, 12 players club-trained at Grasshopper now play for other clubs we track, led by Elmin Rastoder (Panathinaikos, value €6m), Marvin Keller (Young Boys, value €5m) and Dion Kacuri (Austria Lustenau, value €4m).

• Elmin Rastoder · Panathinaikos · €6m
• Marvin Keller · Young Boys · €5m

• Nedim Bajrami · Al Taawoun · €2m
• Jan Bamert · Thun · €2m

We count a player as club-trained when his record shows him registered with the club for three entire seasons or 36 months between the ages of 15 and 21 (UEFA's home-grown test), wherever he started and whatever he cost; time on loan counts for the club that borrowed him.
