Bundesliga bottom FC Schalke 04 need more newcomers for the relegation project. With a second division star, the miners have apparently caught a basket.
FC Schalke have already made two external commitments in the current transfer winter: Niklas Tauer (21, midfield, FSV Mainz 05) and Jere Uronen (28, defense, Stade Brest) come to Gelsenkirchen on loan. In addition, the Japanese offensive man Soichiro Kozuki was promoted from the second team to the professionals.
According to reports, the Royal Blues have also tried to sign central defender Patric Pfeiffer from second division premier SV Darmstadt 98 in recent weeks. that reports”sports1“.
Half of the Bundesliga should be in line for the 23-year-old German-Ghanaian, after all his current working paper expires at the end of the season.
S04 allegedly wanted to get down to business early on and sign Pfeiffer in the winter. However, the defender is said to have waved his hand in order to concentrate fully on the return series that is about to begin and the planned promotion with Darmstadt. Only then does he want to take the next step in his career.
FC Schalke 04 only an option as a Bundesliga club
Those interested in Pfeiffer include Eintracht Frankfurt, TSG Hoffenheim, 1. FC Köln and FC Augsburg. They all sense a potential bargain this summer.
With four goals in 15 appearances – as a defensive player, mind you – the right-footed player made a decisive contribution to the lilies soaring. Especially in the air, the 1.96 meter tall Pfeiffer, who comes from the offspring of HSV, is a force.
It remains to be seen whether Schalke still has a chance of getting the coveted shooting star free of charge. Should coach Thomas Reis’ team be relegated, the miners would almost certainly be out of the race.
