For days, Moussa Sylla had not participated in the training company of FC Schalke 04, and the goal scorer had also missed his team’s 1-0 away win at Dynamo Dresden due to transfer talks. Nevertheless, a million-year transfer of the 25-year-old did not come about due to a claim by the second division club.
Many observers assumed that Moussa Sylla will definitely leave FC Schalke 04 on Deadline Day. On Monday morning, the striker strolled to the office on Berger Feld, and he was warmly welcomed by squad planner Ben Manga. Talks about the future of the attacker are said to have taken place there.
Although the national player from Mali actively forced a change, it did not come about. According to “Bild”, FC Valencia from Spain and MLS-Club DC United were interested in a commitment of the Schalke silver silver. Both clubs could not agree on the change modalities with the Ruhrpottverein.
FC Schalke 04 did not want to lend Sylla
A transfer over the large pond burst because the team from the US capital did not want to pay the required seven million euros. The Spanish first division club, on the other hand, was only available to the information of the tabloid (for now) only a loan of the S04 Torjäger. The deal failed due to a purchase obligation.
FC Schalke 04, who, according to “Bild”, actually had no interest in lending Sylla at all, only wanted to agree if such a purchase condition is integrated into the transfer contract. Valencia waved off, for the traditional club from the Mediterranean coast, only one loan of an option was possible to buy.

The 25-year-old himself is said to have “accepted teeth”. However, a sale of the attacker is probably not excluded. The transfer windows in Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Qatar – unlike in Europe – are still open for a few more days. A change in one of the countries mentioned is “not entirely excluded”.
