Schalke Frees Sylla for Transfer Talks, Plans Dresden Trip Without Top Scorer

Club officials cite ongoing talks over his future with a late-window sale still possible.

Overview

  • Schalke said Moussa Sylla missed training after a sick note and was excused to clarify his future, adding he is not expected to be in Sunday’s squad at Dynamo Dresden.
  • Leicester City is reported to be pushing a package of €5–6 million plus bonuses to about €7 million with a sell‑on clause, with another Championship side and French clubs also linked.
  • A sale would strengthen Schalke’s transfer surplus and support efforts to reduce negative equity under DFL requirements, according to Transfermarkt’s analysis.
  • Kicker reporting notes internal doubts about Sylla’s fit for coach Miron Muslic’s preferred target-forward profile.
  • The club signals it would seek a replacement if he leaves, but time is short before Monday’s 20:00 deadline and funds are limited despite several in-house striker options.
