The 30-year-old Czech is about to be transferred to the relegated club and is already there. The defender, who was last under contract with Bristol City and can also defend on the right back, is available for free, his market value is estimated at 900,000 euros.
Update 7:08 p.m.: Schalke confirmed the commitment of Kalas a little later on Saturday evening, who signed a contract until June 30, 2025. “With Tomas we are implementing our plan to add more quality to the defensive end. We’ve gained an experienced central defender who will take responsibility on the pitch and lead the way. He will drive the competition in the team and ensure that we all get better together,” said sporting director André Hechelmann.

“The Robins” had paid 9 million euros to Chelsea for the right foot in 2019 – after a previous loan. In 2022/23 Kalas only made nine appearances over 403 minutes, also due to injury. As a loan player, he was moderately successful for 1. FC Köln in the first half of the 2014/15 season, but he did not play professionally at “Effzeh”. Kalas made 31 appearances for the Czech national team.
