Schalke 04 star could be sold this winter after six months at the club | OneFootball

As reported by Bild, Schalke 04 star Moussa Sylla could be sold this winter after just six months at the club.

The Mali international joined S04 in July from French Ligue 2 side Pau FC for €2.5m. The fee was seen as a risk at the time due to Schalke’s fragile financial situation.

However, the gamble on Sylla is already paying off. The 24-year-old has scored six goals in seven games this season, including scoring the winner against SC Preußen Münster last weekend.

Speaking after S04’s 2-1 victory over Münster, Sylla said: “On 1:1, I have speculated that the goalkeeper does not hold the ball. Six goals in seven games are good, but I can get even better!”

It’s likely that Sylla will reach double figures for the season before the January transfer window and will most likely be a candidate for sale.

The reason for this is that Schalke 04 are still in a desperate position financially. Currently, the club is in €168 million Euros of debut. Therefore, should they receive an offer close to €10m for Sylla, they will find it difficult not to take the quick profit.

Additionally, Serie A giants Juventus and Inter Milan are reportedly monitoring Sylla’s progress.
