Breel Embolo is about to leave Borussia Mönchengladbach. A warm shower of money beckons the foals. FC Schalke 04, where the Swiss played before moving to the Lower Rhine, will only receive a small amount.
After six years in the Bundesliga, Breel Embolo is facing a commitment in Ligue 1. The attacker has been associated with AS Monaco for days. According to media reports, the transfer should be as good as perfect. According to “Sky”, Gladbach collects around 12.5 million euros for the 25-year-old. “Bild” writes of around 12 million euros.
FC Schalke 04 apparently still receives a small part of this amount. Background: Embolo played for the Royal Blues from 2016 to 2019, costing the club a whopping 26.5 million euros at the time. Three years ago, the Swiss then moved on to Gladbach, where he was able to assert himself as a regular player.
According to “WAZ” information, FC Schalke 04 has secured a resale clause for Embolo. Accordingly, this only applies “to the net difference between the sales totals”. It is said to be a “low seven-digit sum”. The percentage is also “not very high”. In plain language, this means that FC Schalke 04 should only receive a “small sum”.
Gladbach manager speaks of “win-win situation”
“The Monegasques still have to stretch a bit for the fee, but that won’t happen,” S04 sports director Rouven Schröder is quoted as saying by the newspaper.
Gladbach’s manager Roland Virkus confirmed the upcoming deal to “Bild” on Thursday.
“Yes, that’s right, Breel is in Monaco. But the transfer isn’t final yet. Breel asked us if he could do something else. If a player comes to us and actively says he wants to do something else, then it has to be a win-win situation for both sides. We have more extensions coming up, so we need money for that,” revealed the 55-year-old.
