FC Schalke 04: After the Jenz change – S04 observes the next defender

FC Schalke 04’s defense was extremely vulnerable in the first 17 games of the season. With 41 goals conceded, the Royal Blues are currently the worst defense in the Bundesliga.

In order for this to change soon, those responsible at FC Schalke 04 have already signed two new defensive players, Moritz Jenz and Jere Uronen. A third might come soon. We are talking about Timo Baumgartl.

FC Schalke 04 interested in Timo Baumgartl

As “Sky” reports, FC Schalke should want to hire another man for their defense after Moritz Jenz. We are talking about Timo Baumgartl. The 26-year-old does not play a role at Union Berlin this season, which is why it was not even enough for a place on the bench. According to Florian Plettenberg “it could very well be that Timo Baumgartl will be awarded again”. That’s where the royal blues come into play.

According to the report, Schalke are among the clubs still looking for a defender. For a loan to work, however, two clubs would have to agree with Union Berlin and PSV Eindhoven. The reason: Baumgartl is currently still on loan from the Dutch to the Bundesliga club.

However, the Royal Blues are not the only ones who have their eye on the experienced defender. According to the pay-TV broadcaster’s report, Hertha BSC and Hoffenheim should also be interested in Baumgartl. It remains to be seen whether Peter Knäbel and Co. will be able to assert themselves against the well-known competition in possible talks.

Should Baumgartl serve in Gelsenkirchen this winter, he would be the sixth new signing for the second half of the season in the Bundesliga. In addition to Moritz Jenz, who is moving to Schalke from Celtic Glasgow, he could then take on the other part in central defense for the second half of the season, pushing Maya Yoshia and Hennig Matriciani onto the bench.
