VfL Wolfsburg

On the 26 June 2019, Schlager signed for Bundesliga club VfL Wolfsburg.[6] During his time with Wolfsburg, Schlager made 81 appearances in all competitions, including 69 in the Bundesliga.[7] He missed 20 league matches through injury during his final season, but still averaged 27 pressures per game whilst producing a goal and two assists.[7]

RB Leipzig

On 17 June 2022, Schlager joined Bundesliga rivals RB Leipzig, after the club activated a release clause in his Wolfsburg contract. He signed a contract until 2026.[8]

International career

Schlager played for the Austrian U16, U17 and U19 national team. With Austria U19 he played at the 2015 UEFA European Under-19 Championship. He made his debut for the senior team in a friendly 3–0 win over Slovenia on 23 March 2018.[9]
