Nicollin continued: “I called him and he was flattered by the interest. He liked it, but he is determined to continue his adventure in Germany. I haven’t heard anything since our conversation. I don’t know if it will extend. But he wants to stay at Schalke. “
Whether the Frenchman actually extended his contract with Royal Blue is still in the stars. Due to the Corona crisis, Schalke put all transfer and contract negotiations on hold for the time being. “We are at a deadlock,” Stamboulis adviser told Sky about the current state of negotiations.
Benjamin Stambouli: Entry into Schalke team training not in sight
In addition to the uncertain financial situation of the club, Stambouli’s ongoing injury made it difficult for the central defender to plan for the future. In the district derby against Borussia Dortmund in October, he contracted a fracture of the tarsal bone, which has now put him out of action for months. According to information from this editorial team, he is currently only doing light running training. An entry into team training is not yet in sight.
