Kehrer is a graduate of Schalke 04. He made his Bundesliga debut on 6 February 2016 against VfL Wolfsburg in a 3–0 home win.[4] He scored his first goal for the club on 1 April 2017 in the Revierderby against Borussia Dortmund at home, producing the equalizer in a 1–1 draw.[5]

On 5 May 2018 he scored twice as Schalke secured second place in the Bundesliga for the 2017–18 season and UEFA Champions League football for the 2018–19 season.[6]

Paris Saint-Germain

edit

On 16 August 2018, it was announced that Kehrer had been transferred to Ligue 1 club Paris Saint-Germain for €37 million.[3]

On 10 April 2019, Kehrer scored his first goal for Paris Saint-Germain, in a league match against Strasbourg that ended 2–2.[7] He scored his second goal for the club in a 2–1 league win away to Nantes on 4 February 2020.[8] On 24 July 2020, in the Coupe de France Final, Kehrer suffered an injury and was replaced by Colin Dagba. PSG went on to win the match 1–0.[9]

On 7 November 2020, Kehrer came off injured in a match against Rennes. He was set to miss three to four months of action due to an adductor injury.[10] His recovery proved to be faster than expected, and he made his return to play as a substitute in a 3–1 win against Manchester United in the UEFA Champions League group stage on 2 December.[11]

Having helped Monaco finish second in Ligue 1 and qualify for the Champions League, in May 2024, Monaco took-up their option-to-buy and Kehrer moved to the club on a four-year contract for a fee believed to be around £9.5 million.[17] Kehrer scored his first goal in the UEFA Champions League on 5 November 2024, scoring the winning goal in a 0-1 victory over Bologna.[18]
