Actually, FC Schalke 04 wanted to go to the 2nd Bundesliga with Marius Bülter, but the attacker apparently has other plans. That’s why the S04 managers have now set a price tag for the club’s top scorer. And this one has it all.
Marius Bülter scored eleven goals for FC Schalke 04 in the past Bundesliga season. Alone: this top rate was not enough to stay up. Despite the goals of the 30-year-old, S04 had to go to the lower house. But Bülter apparently prefers to continue playing first-class. This has recently been reported by several media.
For this reason, those responsible at FC Schalke have now determined what amount would be due to free the attacker, who is still tied until 2025, from his contract. According to information from “Sky”, “Bild” and “WAZ” that is at least five million euros for Bülter, whose market value is estimated at around 2.5 million euros.
Why this comparatively high sum? S04 is not forced to sell Bülter and therefore has the upper hand. He is also a sought-after German player with a high standing.
A few days ago it was said that Werder Bremen was interested in the left winger, who can also act as a hanging striker or in attacking midfield. But this trail eventually grew cold. The path will probably not lead to FC Augsburg either. The Fuggerstadt residents were also an issue.
Instead, Bülter is now associated with TSG 1899 Hoffenheim, to the displeasure of many Schalke fans. According to “Sky”, the Kraichgauer are clearly ahead in poker for the 30-year-old. There are said to have already been intensive and advanced talks.
Schalke 04: Bülter wants to earn good money again
According to “WAZ”, Bülter wants to sign another lavish contract in the first division instead of just collecting a second-division salary at Schalke.
According to information from the newspaper close to the club, the offensive man does not seem to have a preference, but there are currently many indications of a move to Hoffenheim.
“Didn’t think he would go to such a fanless club after he was with Union and with us,” wrote an S04 fan about the rumors on Twitter. Another: “From Schalke to Hoffenheim, what a downgrade.”
But it’s not that far yet: Even if poker with TSG is approaching the final phase, nothing has been signed for a long time. However, staying in Gelsenkirchen no longer seems to be an issue.
