Top striker Moussa Sylla could leave FC Schalke 04 shortly before the transfer period. The royal blue now obviously made a flash of lightning from the goal getter.

According to information from “FussballTransfers.com”, FC Schalke 04 agreed with a successor. With FC Winterthur from Switzerland, S04 has therefore agreed on a transfer by Christian Gomis.

A transfer fee of around 1.5 million euros is said to be due for the 25-year-old center forward. At the district club, the Senegalese should sign by 2029.

In the past few days, “WAZ” and the Swiss newspaper “Blick” have also reported on advances from Gelsenkirchen. Gomis had a strong start to the season in Winterthur and is at four goals after six games.

With his accuracy, he could possibly immediately collect a departure from Moussa Sylla. There have been intensive farewell rumors around the Schalke top scorer of the previous season for a few days.

Sylla did not train with the team on Friday and was also not a away game at Dynamo Dresden (1-0, The highlights are available on RTL+).

At first it was said that the offensive player was sick. In a public statement, the club then explained the complicated situation on Friday.

“After his sick leave, he had talks to clarify his future. There are now two options: either there is a short -term transfer or Moussa Sylla remains player of FC Schalke 04. We are planning for Sunday without Moussa,” said the Gelsenkirchen officially.

Sylla is said to be on the note with the English second division club Leicester City. The Foxes should be ready to pay around six million euros for his services.

Stade Rennes and Sco Angers from French Ligue 1 as well as the Valencia FC and FC Seville from the Spanish La Liga were recently traded as customers.

The “kicker” had meanwhile revealed this week that at least financially, Schalke was not dependent on a sale.
