Schalke 04 before signing ex-Freiburger Christopher Jullien – Bundesliga

You can not get in here!

Schalke is about to sign defensive closet Christopher Jullien (29/1.96m).

The Celtic centre-back is already in Gelsenkirchen for athletic tests (he had missed the whole of 2021 with a knee injury). The medical check is still pending, but could also be completed today.

There are still a few final talks before a possible signature.

Ligue 1 clubs Stade Rennes and FC Lorient are also said to be interested. Jullien is said to have already decided on Schalke.

The departure of defense boss Ko Itakura (25) left a gap at S04 that Jullien may now fill. Top talent Malick Thiaw (20) could also leave the club this summer.

According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Royal Blue is loaning the French out with an option to buy. For a loan deal, however, Jullien would have to extend his Celtic contract, which expires in 2023, again.

Advantage: Jullien knows Germany, was under contract with SC Freiburg between 2013 and 2015.

For the pros, however, he only played once in the Bundesliga, otherwise completed 49 games for Freiburg II in the Regionalliga Südwest (5 goals/8 assists). He came to Celtic via Dijon and Toulouse, who even put eight million euros on the table for Jullien.

Now he’s supposed to stop Schick, Haller and Co. in the Bundesliga
