Bild reports on the discussions surrounding Andre Hoffmann's potential move to Schalke. There have been discussions between Andre Hoffmann's management and Schalke, a competitor in the same league as Fortuna Düsseldorf. His contract with Fortuna Düsseldorf is expiring in the summer, and the club is considering offering him a new contract with significantly reduced terms. However, the negotiations with Schalke indicate a potential move.

Schalke 04 is in the process of acquiring Andre Hoffmann from Fortuna Düsseldorf. With Hoffmann's contract nearing its end, Schalke has the opportunity to secure his services without incurring a transfer fee. Known for his defensive strength and leadership as a team captain, Hoffmann aligns with Schalke's objective to strengthen their defense and enhance their competitiveness for the upcoming season. Despite receiving interest from clubs in England and the USA, Hoffmann, who began his training at MSV Duisburg and has made 186 appearances for Düsseldorf, is contemplating the prospect of joining Schalke. Hoffmann and Timo Becker, another recent addition to Schalke's defense, are noted for their similar attributes, excelling in duels and possessing leadership qualities as former captains of their teams.
