Now the change is perfect: Kevin Schade leaves SC Freiburg and will play in the Premier League in the future. The 21-year-old joined Brentford FC on Wednesday, where he will initially be on loan. According to transfer market information, a purchase obligation should then apply if the winger reaches a certain number of missions.

How “skyreported, the transfer fee that would then be due is in the range of 25 million euros, making the German U21 international, who originally signed with Breisgau until 2026, the most expensive departure in Freiburg’s club history. This is currently Caglar Söyüncü, whose transfer fee rose to €21.1m after being sold to Leicester City in 2018/19.

“We really enjoyed the journey with Kevin from football school to the Bundesliga. Kevin has developed very well and rapidly during this time and has shown what potential he has. The interest from the Premier League has been with us for a long time. Now that the financial framework is right, we wanted to enable him to take this step – that’s SC Freiburg,” said board member Jochen Saier. “The alignment at this point in time gives us early planning security and room for manoeuvre. We would like to thank Kevin for the time we spent together and see him as another example of where the path for young players can lead via the SC. So we are proud of his further development on the island.”

Schade said he saw “in England the opportunity to take the next step in my career. I’m keen to seize this opportunity.” As Brentford explained, the club expect Schade to make a permanent move in the summer, in which case he will sign a five-year contract.

Brentford’s persistence at Schade rewarded – second German in squad

The persistence of the “Bees” at Schade was thus rewarded. The West Londoners are said to have offered a transfer fee of around EUR 20 million plus bonuses and a resale participation in the summer, which the sports club rejected at the time. Now the right winger is the first external winter signing at Brentford, where he will be the second German in coach Thomas Frank’s squad alongside Vitaly Janelt and the eighth German in the club’s history. Schade, whose market value is €12m, had been trained at Freiburg since 2018 and made 36 appearances for the first team (six goals/four assists).
