Schalke 04: Agreement with Montpellier’s Mollet? Transfer details still open

2nd attempt after 2020

Schalke 04 is apparently in concrete negotiations about a commitment from Florent Mollet. According to French journalist Saber Desfargas of Prime Video, which holds the broadcasting rights for Ligue 1, the Royal Blues have agreed a contract with the 30-year-old attacking midfielder. Only the fee due for Montpellier HSC has not yet been clarified. In the evening, meanwhile, “Sky” reporter Dirk Schlarmann took up the message, also confirmed contact, but spoke of no more than a “flirt”.

Torrent is a real late bloomer in French football, making its debut in Ligue 1 at the age of 24 and never exceeding a market value of 1.25 million euros until the summer of 2018. Only with his move from FC Metz to Montpellier in the same year did the right-footer take off. In 139 appearances he scored 24 goals and 16 assists.

In Gelsenkirchen, an obligation should only be feasible below the current market value of EUR 6 million, which does not seem unrealistic in view of the contract ending in 2023. Schalke is severely restricted financially and only wants to take risks on the transfer market when income is secured, for example through the sale of loan returnees Ozan Kabak (22) and Amine Harit (24). For this reason, the purchase option for Ko Itakura (25) was not exercised, in the courtship for Robert Glatzel the promoted team lost out because Hamburger SV offered a higher salary.
