After the descent there is a question mark behind some personal details. In the case of several players, it is not yet known whether they will be moving to the second division and tackling the mission of promotion or whether they will leave FC Schalke 04 following all.
The situation with Alex Kral was quite clear a few weeks ago. A stay of the midfield star at FC Schalke 04 would only have been realistic if they stayed up. Due to the relegation, his departure was actually already certain. The Czech confirmed this once more in a message to the fans.
FC Schalke 04: “I’m proud that I had this honor”
What was clear to most a few weeks ago is now official. Alex Kral will leave the S04 once more following just one year. The 25-year-old was loaned out from Spartak Moscow a year ago under a special arrangement. Over the course of the season, he developed into the absolute leading player at Royal Blue. Especially in the second half of the season, he drew attention to himself with his extremely strong performances.
A few days following the bitter relegation, the Czech national player has now sent a message to the S04 fans. In this he praised the Pottklub supporters in particular and thanked them for their support throughout the season. “It’s not easy to find the right words, but I feel that our fans deserve a huge thank you,” Kral begins his message. “But what they showed out there in the stands and at home as fans, even now following the last game, nobody in the world can do,” said the midfielder.

“With the love, strength and dedication that is in this club, it’s only a matter of time before Schalke 04 returns to where it really belongs,” emphasized Kral. In addition, he said goodbye to the followers with this message. “I’m proud to have been your player for at least one season and had the honor of playing in front of you! Thank you very much,” he said in the last paragraph of his text. With that, the last glimmer of hope for a whereregardings Kral is gone. The 25-year-old will continue his career at another club.
Will Kral of the Bundesliga survive?
After this enormously bitter season, Kral might even look forward to Champions League football in the future. Because according to several media reports, Union Berlin is said to be hot for the S04 loan. Kral is said to have been in Berlin in the past few weeks and had initial talks with those responsible at Union. For the Noch-Schalke this would be a big step. So he would not only switch to a top club in Germany and continue to play in the Bundesliga, but also get a taste of the Champions League. The Köpernickers qualified for the group stage of the premier class for the first time on the last day of the game.
More news:
In addition to Union, Borussia Mönchengladbach should also be interested in a commitment from Kral. Due to the extension of the FIFA special regulation, the Czech is also available for free this summer. Since Kral’s contract in Moscow only runs out for one year, the midfielder might be signed for zero euros even following the coming season. A lucrative offer for a player like Kral. At Schalke, on the other hand, you have to let the next top performer go.
