FC Schalke 04 is working on streamlining its squad this summer. The club plans to offload more players than it signs. Sporting director Frank Baumann told 'Bild' that it is very likely that by the end of the transfer period, there will be more departures than arrivals. The Schalke professional squad currently consists of 35 players. Other clubs have already expressed interest in some players. Moussa Sylla and Finn Porath are considered sale candidates. Anton Donkor and Tomas Kalas are set to leave the club, as they no longer play a role in the sporting plans. FC Schalke 04 has already presented its first two new signings for the upcoming season: Satoshi Tanaka and Junior Adamu. The club plans to sign around five more players to stabilize the squad for the desired class retention in the Bundesliga. But the competition in the league is fierce. So FC Schalke 04 must act cleverly to achieve its goals. The club wants to offload up to nine players to streamline the squad. The transfer period will be exciting for FC Schalke 04.
