This season, the Ivorian played regularly on the first eight matchdays, but only sparingly after that – he watched the last four league games from the bench or the stands. Metz brought Kouao from the Portuguese club Vizela in the summer of 2022 for 600,000 euros and gave him a contract that runs until 2026.

If the deal goes through, Kouau would be the second new signing after left winger Darko Churlinov (23, Burnley) and also the next player with a market value of 2 million euros. In the S04 squad, only the currently injured U17 world champion Assan Ouédraogo (17) is rated higher. Kouao played in Portugal from 2016 to 2022, Schalke would be his fifth stop in Europe. A transfer to the Royal Blues would make him the most valuable defensive player in the squad.
