FC Schalke 04 is fighting for survival in the remaining four games of the season. Blue and white would have to make a big loss if they were to go down again. Financially in particular, another descent would be a hard blow.
It suits FC Schalke 04 very well that Royal Blue is facing an unexpected rain of money. A loan player faces a permanent transfer. There is a transfer fee of over one million in the room. However, the S04 would not get the full amount.
FC Schalke 04: Wouters before final farewell?
The chapter FC Schalke 04 could be over for Dries Wouters faster than he would have liked. The Belgian joined KRC Genk on a free transfer in 2021 and should provide more flexibility on the defensive. The 26-year-old can play both in central midfield and in central defence. But things didn’t go as planned. Wouters could hardly assert himself and only has three competitive games for blue and white.
In the summer we went back home. Wouters went on loan to KV Mechelen. A purchase option of almost 1.3 million euros was agreed in the loan agreement. After a strong second half of the season, KV Mechelen now wants to take this option. This is reported by the Dutch daily newspaper “Het Nieuwsblad”. Schalke would be very happy to accept that. The clammy Pottklub can use every penny, especially in the event of relegation.

After a difficult start in Mechelen, Wouters played his way into the Belgians’ starting XI as the season progressed. In the second half of the season, the S04 loan team even played the full distance in most games. Last weekend, Wouters was in the Belgian Cup final with KV Mechelen. There, however, Royal Antwerp had to admit defeat with 0:2. Thanks to the good second half of the season, his loan club would now like to sign the defensive player.
S04 has to give up parts of the fee
At Schalke you don’t really plan with the Belgian anymore. A permanent transfer would play into the hands of those responsible for S04. But the royal blue can’t count on the full transfer fee of almost 1.3 million euros. Because when Wouters was transferred from KRC Genk to the S04, participation in a resale was planned. How high this is is therefore still unknown. But since the change to blue and white was free of charge, this could well be a certain amount.
More news:
How much would ultimately remain for royal blue is still in the stars. However, S04 should also be satisfied with a lower fee. When Wouters went on loan to Mechelen, it could not necessarily be assumed that the Belgians would even take up the purchase option.
