FC Schalke 04 needs reinforcements in the fight to stay up. With Niklas Tauer from 1. FSV Mainz 05, the Royal Blues have already brought in a defensive midfielder. But it won’t stop there.
Sports director Peter Knäbel and head coach Thomas Reis announced further newcomers. It would be important for FC Schalke 04 that these players have experience in the Bundesliga and also in the relegation battle. A Bundesliga star can leave his club. Will S04 strike?
FC Schalke 04: free transfer?
Although he does play for VfL Wolfsburg, he is no longer on the pitch as often and as long as in previous years: Josuha Guilavogui. The 32-year-old defensive specialist is a legend in Lower Saxony. But the signs point to separation.
The Wolfsburg chapter was actually over for me last winter,” admitted the veteran, who went on loan to Girondins Bordeaux at the time, when asked about his situation in the autumn of this year. This winter it could finally come to a farewell.
Guilavogui still has a contract in the Autostadt until the summer of 2023. It is unclear whether VfL is still hoping for a small fee or even let him go free of charge. For FC Schalke 04, the midfielder would be the ideal reinforcement, especially for the relegation battle.
Will S04 hit Guilavogui?
Because in the 15 Bundesliga games, the S04 defense showed its vulnerability again and again. Therefore, FC Schalke 04 is looking for an experienced stabilizer for the midfield. Guilavogui would fit into the plans of the Royal Blues.
Now it’s up to the miners themselves whether they might ask the Frenchman and Wolfsburg. Should that be the case, Schalke would have to hurry. VfB Stuttgart should also be interested in the veteran.

No matter which club Guilavogui should choose in the end, he would have to cut back on his salary. This is currently estimated at around four million euros. Of course, that’s too much for Schalke and Stuttgart.
