In the summer, FC Schalke 04 and FC St. Pauli swap leagues. Offensive man Danel Sinani could also switch sides – at least the Luxembourg national player would be open to it.
In recent days, Danel Sinani has been linked with a transfer to FC Schalke 04. The 29-year-old has now commented on the rumors circulating with the national team.
“If it’s true, you can think about it,” said the creative player, who made 30 appearances for FC St. Pauli in the last Bundesliga season and became the Kiezkicker’s top scorer with eight goals (five goals, three assists), in an interview with the newspaper “Luxemburger Wort” who was definitely interested in a new adventure in royal blue.
Signing Sinani for Schalke would also be attractive, as the left-footer’s contract expires on June 30th. As a result, the Knappen would not have to transfer any transfer fees to Hamburg. However, it is unclear how specific the newcomer’s advances are.

Less transfer pressure at FC Schalke 04
The fact is: Schalke’s squad planning is in full swing after the celebrations are over. Sports director Frank Baumann confirmed this again in a recent interview. By returning to the upper house, one can act much more relaxed on the transfer market.
“What I can say is that the conditions have improved to the extent that we no longer feel the pressure to sell like we did a year ago. This summer we can also act proactively. At the same time, we will need higher transfer income this time too,” Baumann told “kicker”.
Due to the successful winter deals for Edin Dzeko, Adil Aouchiche, Dejan Ljubicic and Moussa Ndiaye, the “upheaval in the summer won’t be quite as big,” emphasized Baumann: “We have a lot of players who are competitive in the first division.” At the same time, it is “clear that we want to improve in all parts of the team.” Sinani could possibly be the first piece of the puzzle.
