Schalke 04: Baumann fetches Muslic and plans exciting transfers!

A fresh wind blows at FC Schalke 04: With Frank Baumann, the club has brought a new decision -makers on board to bring fresh impulses into the squad planning. The 49-year-old sports director went on a journey to Gelsenkirchen together with coach Miron Muslic (42) from Plymouth Argyle and recognizes clear needs in the squad. The focus is particularly on players with Bundesliga experience, and so the return of Timo Becker (28) from Holstein Kiel is already causing a sensation.

Becker, a real Schalke fan and with plenty of experience in the highest German league, is an important component in Baumann's plan. But that's not all. The search for further reinforcements is already in full swing, and the list of desired players is becoming more and more concrete. This includes the left foot Tymoteusz Puchacz (26), which was most recently active for Holstein Kiel and has already worked with Becker and Muslic.

look at Katic and other plans

But not only Puchacz is a topic for Schalke 04. Nikola Katic (28), a central defender with Bundesliga past and former player of Plymouth Argyle, is also the focus of those responsible. Katic, who is currently under contract with FC Zurich by 2026, could be a welcome reinforcement for the defensive. Under coach Muslic, he completed 17 games last season and even worn the captain's office. His change would also strengthen the connection to the new trainer.

On the other hand, interest in Puchacz is considered secondary. Negotiations for him could make themselves difficult because Holstein Kiel has high financial requirements. In the transfer market community, opinions are shared as to whether Schalke can handle the required price. A loan seems to be a possible alternative to bring Puchacz to Gelsenkirchen.

The path towards the Bundesliga

Schalke 04 squad planning clearly points in the direction that experience and quality are required. Baumann's vision could give valuable impulses after fighting to return to the Bundesliga in the past season. The calls after further reinforcements will be loud and the next few weeks could be crucial for the sporting future of the club.
