Lina Marie Magull (born 15 August 1994) is a German professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Serie A club Inter Milan and the Germany national team.[2][3]

Club career[edit]

Youth career[edit]

Lina Magull started her youth career playing for Hörder SC from 1999 to 2002. She spent the next six years with Hombrucher SV where she played in an all-boy team. In 2008, she moved in the course of her appointment at the girls' boarding school of the Football and Athletics Association of Westfalia in SuS Kaiserau's youth team C (boys).

Senior career[edit]

One year later she started her senior career with the second division side FSV Gütersloh 2009 and helped them gain the promotion to the Bundesliga. In the season 2012/13 Magull signed a contract with VfL Wolfsburg. She made her Frauen-Bundesliga debut on 23 September 2012 in the devastating 6–0 victory against VfL Sindelfingen.[4][5] Just four days later, she successfully came on to make her Champions League debut in VfL Wolfsburg's 5–1 away win against the Polish club Unia Racibórz.[6] On 14 November 2012, Magull scored her first league goal for VfL Wolfsburg against her former club Gütersloh in a game which eventually ended with 10–0 victory to Wolfsburg.[7] She won the 2012–13 treble with Wolfsburg. On 12 November 2014, Magull scored two goals against SV Neulengbach to help Wolfsburg past through to the quarter-final of the 2014–15 UEFA Women's Champions League.[8]

On 21 May 2015, she extended her contract with Wolfsburg which will keep her at the German club until 2018. In addition, she was also loaned out to play for the Bundesliga side SC Freiburg so that she will have more chances to develop her career.[9] In May 2016, her loan at SC Freiburg was extended for another year, running until 2017.[10]

In 2018, she signed for FC Bayern Munich.

On 13 January 2024, it was announced that she signed with Serie A side Inter Milan.[11]

International career[edit]

Lina Magull has been chosen to represent junior teams by the German Football Association since 2008. In 2010 and 2011, she played in the UEFA Women's Under-17 Championship and finished in the third place respectively. She participated in the German squad[12] competing in the 2012 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup in Japan. In the second group game against Ghana, Magull scored the only winning goal in injury time of the second half to help Germany secure their place in the quarter-final.[13] Germany eventually reached the final but lost 1–0 to the United States. In 2013, she played in the 2013 UEFA Women's Under-19 Championship in Wales and reached the semi-finals, where her Germany were defeated 2–1 by France. In her second FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup in Canada, Germany, under Magull's captaincy, became the champions after a 1–0 victory after extra time against Nigeria.

On 13 October 2015, Magull (along with Mandy Islacker) was called up to the Germany senior team for the first time in preparation for the two UEFA Women's Euro 2017 qualifiers against Russia and Turkey.[14] At the 2019 Women's World Cup, she scored a goal in Germany's 4–0 win over South Africa.[15] She scored Germany's lone goal in their 2–1 quarterfinal defeat against Sweden.[16]
