17-goal striker is free transfer
With Victor Pálsson (29) and Serdar Dursun (29), Schalke 04 has two top performers of SV Darmstadt 98 in mind. What the “Bild” brought into play on Wednesday as a loose rumor seems to be taking shape, at least with regard to Dursun, with 17 goals second-best goalscorer in the 2nd Bundesliga.
