Schalke crosslist: 11 players around Fährmann – Reis contract terminated

According to “Bild”, S04 wants to clean up

FC Schalke 04, which is in 16th place in the 2nd Bundesliga, is facing an intensive transfer window in the winter. In view of the completely unsuccessful first half of the season following relegation from the Bundesliga, the Royal Blues are apparently putting a lot of personnel details to the test. The “Picture“ published a list of players who could no longer be part of the squad at the start of the second half of the season. In total, there is speculation about eleven professionals – a complete starting eleven.

According to the paper, goalkeeper Ralf Fährmann (35), defenders Marcin Kaminski (31), Timo Baumgartl (27), Ibrahima Cissé (22), Thomas Ouwejan (27; currently suspended), Cédric Brunner (29), and the midfielders are up for grabs Ron Schallenberg (25), Niklas Tauer (22), Paul Seguin (28), Danny Latza (33) and striker Sebastian Polter (32). “Schalke is cleaning up,” is how the paper put it.

According to reports, professionals with a total market value of 12.5 million euros are affected – which corresponds to around 38 percent of the squad value of 33.15 million euros. Before the upcoming update in the 2nd league on December 15th, which will see a hefty market value loss, the Royal Blues are behind HSV (43.73 million euros) and fellow relegated Hertha BSC (39.23 million euros). in third place.

Schalke’s players, board and supervisory board recently wrote an open letter to the fans and members of the club and promised improvement. “Mistakes were made in the composition of the squad, some ideas didn’t work out – we bear responsibility for that. As club management, we will do everything we can to correct any undesirable developments during the winter break. We will also act decisively when looking at possible squad changes,” said the S04 management team.

The contract with ex-Schalke coach Reis has been terminated

The head coach Thomas Reis, who has now been replaced by Karel Geraerts, and those responsible at Schalke have committed themselves to the “PictureAccording to him, an early termination of the contract, which runs until 2024, has now been agreed. The 50-year-old Reis would therefore be freely available to a new club and no transfer fee would have to be paid. Schalke, in turn, had to provide a severance payment, but saved the outstanding salary.

Reis took over the Revierklub in October 2022, but despite hope emerging in the meantime, he was no longer able to ensure relegation. After 1.13 points per game, the former Bochum trainer had to give up at the end of September. There was no major upward trend under his successor Geraerts – there were two wins and four defeats in six games.
