Robin Gosens on the verge of joining Schalke 04
According to Florian Plettenberg, Schalke 04 is close to finalizing the transfer of Robin Gosens, who currently plays for Fiorentina. Negotiations have advanced, and a final agreement is expected soon.
German left-back Robin Gosens, 32, is on the brink of leaving ACF Fiorentina to join Schalke 04. Journalist Florian Plettenberg reports that talks have progressed significantly, and a verbal agreement has been reached between the parties. The transfer would occur via a loan with an obligation to buy for a total of €2.5 million.
Gosens, whose market value is €4 million and whose contract with Fiorentina runs until June 30, 2028, has shown his willingness to join the German team. This move represents an opportunity for Schalke 04 to strengthen their defense with an experienced player who has been capped by the German national team.
Negotiations are at an advanced stage, and while Plettenberg has confirmed that no formal agreements are in place yet, other reports from Nicolò Schira and Fabrizio Romano also indicate that the transfer is imminent. The player is expected to undergo a medical in the coming days, which could seal his arrival at the club.
Schalke 04 aims to bolster their squad after a challenging start to the season, and Gosens's arrival could be crucial to improving their performance in the Bundesliga. However, some details still need to be finalized before the agreement becomes official.
