Schalke 04 wants to keep Moritz Jenz even in the event of relegation

Obligation to buy applies to staying up in the league

If FC Schalke 04 stays in class, a purchase obligation of 4 million euros applies to central defender Moritz Jenz, who was loaned from FC Lorient in the winter. Irrespective of this, the Royal Blues would like to retain the 23-year-old, who quickly became a top performer, in the long term. “We will examine all options to keep Moritz – preferably with staying up, because everything has already been clarified for this case,” said CEO Dr. Bernd Schroeder the “WAZ‘ about the defender.

With Jenz, the Schalke defense had stabilized compared to the first half of the season – at least until the 0:4 in the previous week at SC Freiburg. It was the only defeat Schalke have suffered in ten games in which the native of Berlin has played. Coach Thomas Reis also replaced Jenz after the first half. “It was a precautionary measure,” Reis said afterwards. “You can tell that Moritz isn’t 100 percent yet, you could see that in a few actions. And then he felt a certain tiredness. That’s why we wanted to minimize the risk because it’s supposed to go against Bremen next weekend.”

In addition to Jenz, Schalke Leipzig would like to keep Tom Krauss (21) on loan, who also has a purchase obligation if he stays in the league – cost: 3 million euros. Borussia Mönchengladbach, which is financially better off, is said to be interested in the U21 national player, who has already increased his market value to 6 million this season. In the event of relegation, Krauss is more likely to switch to another Bundesliga club than to commit himself to Schalke, especially if Jenz is committed for a sum of millions. Defense routine Maya Yoshida (34) would also be tied for another year if he stayed up. According to reports in March, a return is in the offing with winger Darko Churlinov (22; Burnley) on loan.
