Schalke 04 signed Tom Krauss (20) from RB Leipzig and gave him a great leap of faith.
A leap of faith for Schalke’s new signing: The young midfielder Tom Krauss from RB Leipzig is moving to Schalke. As reported by several media, including “Sportbuzzer”, the promoted team is obliged to sign the U21 international by 2027 if Schalke holds the class.
Short, compact, clear
Coach Kramer has already made acquaintance with Krauss: The new Schalke coach Frank Kramer already knows Krauss from his time as U18 national team coach: “Tom was my captain in the U18 national team and a very important player. He recognizes dangerous situations both defensively and offensively and is therefore able to act instead of just reacting.”
A transfer as a symbol of the shift in power: Krauss’ change also has symbolic power beyond that. After all, FC Schalke, who were once used to success, congratulate themselves on signing a young national player who was retired in Leipzig and recently loaned to Nuremberg. Schalke are celebrating the loan of a player from Leipzig – who would have thought that five years ago?
