El-Faouzi’s Agent Denies Exit Clause Presence
Soufiane El-Faouzi has rapidly become a vital player for FC Schalke 04. His impressive performance has drawn attention from rival clubs, particularly Borussia Dortmund.
Interest from Several Clubs
El-Faouzi’s agent, Tim Jerat, confirmed that multiple clubs are showing interest in the young midfielder. The athlete has stood out with notable statistics, averaging 12.5 kilometers covered and 82 high-intensity runs per match, placing him among the best in the league.
Impressive Contributions
- Three assists this season, including the key pass for the winning goal against Darmstadt.
Despite the rising interest, Jerat refrained from naming specific clubs but emphasized that El-Faouzi would never make a move that feels inappropriate for a Schalke player.
Contractual Status
Schalke finds itself in a strong contractual position regarding El-Faouzi. Contrary to some reports, his contract, which runs until 2029, does not include an exit clause. Sky reporter Dirk große Schlarmann stated that the rumored eight-million-euro release clause is inaccurate.
Transfer Details
The midfielder joined Schalke at the beginning of the season for a mere 200,000 euros from Alemannia Aachen. Since his arrival, he has made a significant impact on the team’s performance.
League Standing
As of now, Schalke leads the 2. Bundesliga after ten matchdays, showcasing the best defensive record in the league with only five goals conceded.
