Overview

• Steve Noode joins Union Tutus Petingen on a season-long loan to gain match experience unavailable at Schalke.
• Former Schalke forward Sidney Sam will serve as loan supervisor to monitor Noode’s development and maintain club relations.
• The departure brings Schalke’s summer exits to 15 as part of a broader effort to right-size the roster and cut costs.
• Defender Derry Murkin’s transfer to FC Utrecht for just over €1 million represents the club’s highest sale of the window.
• Under sports director Frank Baumann and coach Miron Muslic, the rebuild targets €98 million in negative equity and clearer squad roles.
