FC Schalke 04 is still unable to report the transfer of Benito Raman as fixed. Benjamin Stambouli enthuses about coach David Wagner. AC Milan is obviously interested in Matija Nastasic.
Here you can find all news and rumours about FC Schalke 04.
FC Schalke 04 can still not announce the commitment of Benito Raman. The striker of Fortuna Düsseldorf seems to be the problem himself this time. As the picture reports, there is no agreement between Raman’s consultants and Schalke’s customer.
Apparently, there’s disagreement over the agents’ fees. This complicates the transfer even more and prevents an announcement. Raman had already been photographed in the FC Schalke 04 kit recently, his change seemed to be only a matter of time after the agreement with Fortuna.
“He’s been given two days off to sort things out. I’m not commenting on the fact that he’s still here and still wearing the Schalke jersey,” said Düsseldorf’s Sports Director Lutz Pfannenstiel to the picture.
In the course of the Raman change, Bernard Tepeketey is actually to be lent to the Düsseldorfers – including an affordable purchase option. “We have prepared all our papers, both transfers could be made by us”, said Pfannenstiel.
According to Benjamin Stambouli, FC Schalke 04 has found the perfect coach in David Wagner. “He radiates a positive energy and gives us new ideas,” said the midfielder on the club’s homepage. He has a “very good feeling” about the new coach.
Wagner is also “very communicative” and always seeks dialogue with the team and individual players: “The spirit on the pitch was already very good in the first units,” Stambouli added.
Looking back on the past season, Stambouli spoke of a “black eye”. Once again, Schalke should not have to suffer like this: “We should now quickly get rid of the year. At the same time, however, we must learn from our mistakes.” Under Domenico Tedesco and Huub Stevens the team resisted the relegation for a long time.
FC Schalke 04 apparently has to resist an offer from FC Schalke 04 for Matija Nastasic. That’s what Sport Italia reports. The Milanese are supposed to have been interested in Dejan Lovren from FC Liverpool, but failed there. Now they could try Nastasic.
However, the defender is currently under contract until 2022 and was last considered one of the decisive players for the coming season under David Wagner. Already in the last years S04 had cancelled other interested parties. In any case, Milan has lost financial strength, having been excluded from the Europa League for breaches of the Financial Fair Play rules.
