Schalke Star’s Agent Speaks Out Amidst Rising Controversy
Schalke 04 has made an impressive start to the current season, leading the 2. Bundesliga table after ten matches with a total of 24 points. The team, under Coach Miron Muslic, has achieved five consecutive wins and conceded only one goal, showcasing their strong performance on the field.
El-Faouzi’s Emergence as a Key Player
Midfielder Soufiane El-Faouzi has emerged as a standout player for Schalke. The 23-year-old joined the team this summer from Alemannia Aachen for a modest transfer fee in the six-figure range. Since arriving, he has quickly become a vital part of the starting eleven, proving his value with relentless energy and impressive tackling skills.
Key Contributions to the Team
El-Faouzi has already registered three assists this season, including a pivotal assist in the match against Darmstadt 98, where he set up the winning goal scored by Moussa Sylla. His performance is gaining attention, and interest from rival teams is growing, particularly from Borussia Dortmund.
Growing Interest from Other Clubs
According to Tim Jerat, El-Faouzi’s agent, several clubs are monitoring the player’s progress. While he did not disclose specific names, reports indicate that Dortmund is among the interested parties. Although El-Faouzi has a contract with Schalke until 2029 and there is no release clause, this does not discourage potential suitors.

El-Faouzi’s Commitment to Schalke
Despite the speculation surrounding his potential transfer, Jerat emphasized that El-Faouzi is happy at Schalke and plans to stay, as he has settled well into the club’s environment. “Soufiane would not do anything that does not feel right for a Schalke player. He feels totally comfortable here and has just arrived,” Jerat noted.
As Schalke continues to perform well, it seems likely that El-Faouzi will remain a crucial asset to the team for the foreseeable future.
